Setting up the command gdb on windows

Well I am relatively new in computer's world, and I learned programming on a virtual machine using linux S.O. I am using minGW32 command prompt, and I can compile and run my c codes as needed, however I recently installed gdb debugger (for debugging my programms), and it is bit uncomfortable to write: 

"c:\mingw\bin\gdb.exe" exe_name

in order to debug my programs. Is there a way for having something like:

gdb exe_name

like in linux?

Thanks in advance.

extra question: And the same for valgrind?

best regards

You should add the path "c:\mingw\bin" in your environment variable. This way whenever you type gdb on command prompt, it would search from the above path.

And the same for valgrind?

Till date Valgrind does not run on Windows platform.
