How to start Jenkins? - Start/Stop and Restart Jenkins service on Windows

Question

I have downloaded "Jenkins-1.501.zip" from http://jenkins-ci.org/content/thank-you-downloading-windows-installer.

I have extracted the zip file and installed Jenkins on Windows 7 successfully. Jenkins runs at http://localhost:8080/ as well. I want to stop Jenkin's service from the console. How can I do that? What's the way to start and restart through the console/command line?
