If you are using Oracle Database Starter, try this command on console:

ORADIM73 -STARTUP -SID ORCL -STARTTYPE SRVC, INST -PFILE <DRIVE>:\ORANT\DATABASE\INITORCL.ORA

If you are using Oracle8 version, change ORADIM73 to ORADIM80.

If you are not using default database, change ORCL to appropriate SID.

For shutdown immediate:

ORADIM73 -SHUTDOWN -SID ORCL -SHUTMODE I For more information see Oracle8 Getting Started for Windows NT on-line documentation in CD-ROM.
There are other manners to shutdown and startup an oracle instance.

Again, if you are using Oracle Database Starter you are looking for initorcl.ora file.
