Mysql.exe is not how you restart the server. That is the client.
You need to be looking for mysqld.exe.
Better yet, if your mysql is configured to run as a service, try starting it using 'services' in Administrative tools. If you can't find that, try "net start mysql" from a command prompt.
More to the point, however, you need to find out what went wrong. I suspect that installing XAMPP (which apparently indtalls a new instance of mysql) has over-written or otherwise obliterated your original mysql. I sure hope you backed up your data first.
You might want to check that your original mysql is still installed, and that XAMPP hasn't damaged it.

Subject: all of a sudden can't connect to server..
I've been using MySQL server (4.1) on my W2k machine for over a year w/no problems, connect from Tomcat and from Java stand-alone classes..
but the other day installed XAMPP (for PHP development, comes w/Apache,
MySQL) and since then cannot connect at all.. I simply have no idea what's happening here.. I uninstalled XAMPP altogether (so now am back to only my 4.1 installation I've always had..)
when try to connect directly from DOS shell (mysql -u.. etc.) I get this
error:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
when in DOS shell navigate to c:\....MySQL Server 4.1\bin and try to run mysql.exe (this is how you restart server?) get exact same error..
am running out of options.. would truly appreciate some suggestions here.. thank you very much..
Frances
