Mysql service Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified

Yesterday i tried to work on Mysql, but found that the mysql service was not started so i tried to figure it out the problem, i started the service from services mmc in windows xp i encountered an error: "Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified".

I googled and didn't find solution to that problem so i decided to find it out by myself.i checked my.ini file and also checked all the files in side bin directory then i found out the solution.
the file name of mysqld-nt.exe was renamed to mysqld-nt.exe~ i renamed it back to its original name and solved the problem. Hope this information is useful to others searching for this problem.
