Thanks, though I meant running a *service* as our own Freenet user vs. the LocalSystem account :) (... since we have more or less agreed to run as a service). So I guess the running user (Freenet or LocalSystem) + administrators get readwrite access to the files, and regular users only read access? Or no access at all? Will either create any problems? - Zero3
