+# Running as a Windows Service
--- End diff --
A Windows service appears to run with a working directory of
`C:\Windows\System32` and this causes problems when the directories in the
configuration are relative paths. Setting them to absolute paths lets the
service find the files it wants. Not my preferred solution but is cleaner than
others I tried. If anyone has any other ideas let me know.
