Oracle is on NT implemented as a service, the background processes as
threads within that service.
When you start the Oracle service, the strt<%ORACLE_SID%>.cmd in
%ORACLE_HOME%\database is run.
This script calls the instance manager, oradim<xx>, which load the Oracle
executable in memory, and starts all the threads.
A shutdown by means of svrmgr<xx> doesn't stop the service, as you probably
have discovered. You should use oradim<xx> to accomplish that.
