Tor Windows service should be installed with the NetworkService account

<GITNE> nickm: I have checked running Tor under the NetworkService account.
Works fine. The problem I had the last time was a missing write permission on
the log file.
<GITNE> nickm: So it should probably be safe to change GENSRV_USERACCT to "NT
AUTHORITY\NetworkService"
> gitne: was that because the log file was trying to go somewhere it
shouldn't? or what
> gitne: also, does that change work for every windows, or only some of them?
<GITNE> armadev: those three predefinded accounts LocalSystem, LocalService,
and NetworkService are available since Windows 2000 so Tor should be safe
with that.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
