Never mind, the instructions are more or less right. Had issues because of the errors the non depreciated versions of the commands throw, plus configs in the wrong place. I would still love to know where the default torrc should be for a Windows service if you don't specify it.
To make Vidalia work again in Window after making Tor a service 1. CD into c:\Program Files\Vidalia Bundle\Tor and run: tor --hash-password somepassword Note:This is the hash you will use. 2: Add this to the torrc you will locate in C:\ ControlPort 9051 HashedControlPassword 16:B0AB72FC4E3A30D560A3524C79E7F26CF350A8504E73210426CCBE2373 3. If the service is already installed, run: tor -remove 4. Not run this to set up your config: tor -install -options -f C:\torrc ControlPort 9051 5. Now when you start, Vidalia will ask for the password to connect.
