Comment:

 From `src/or/ntmain.c`, in `nt_service_install`:
 {{{
  601   /* XXXX This warning could be better about explaining how to
 resolve the
  602    * situation. */
  603   if (using_default_torrc)
  604     printf("IMPORTANT NOTE:\n"
  605         "    The Tor service will run under the account \"%s\".  This
 means\n"
  606         "    that Tor will look for its configuration file under
 that\n"
  607         "    account's Application Data directory, which is probably
 not\n"
  608         "    the same as yours.\n", user_acct?user_acct:"<local
 system>");
 }}}
