mongodb - How do I start Mongo DB from Windows?

Question

I have installed MongoDB on my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I have created the path data/db too but when I tried to start mongodb using the command 'C:mongodbinmongod.exe', it is not starting. It is showing admin web console waiting for connections on port 28017.

Help me in starting the MongoDB. And also please suggest if any GUI is available for MongoDB.
