Depending on which version of Windows you are on and which Firebird version you install(ed), you might have the Firebird control panel applet. The settings there are obvious.

If you have Vista or Win7, the applet won't have been installed because it causes problems on those versions.

For any service, including Firebird, you can go the Services applet (from the control panel's Administrative Tools), right-click on the service and administer it from there.

It sounds as if you could do with studying the Quick Start guide. You should find that in the ..\doc directory of your installation. If you need it before installing, you can download it from the Firebird Documentation Index, http://firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=doc
