Note that since the core is running on a different user, your configuration folder will be at <code>C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\quassel-irc.org</code>.

If you already have a configuration setup that you want to migrate, copy the contents of <code>%APPDATA%\.quassel-irc.org\</code> (aka <code>C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\.quassel-irc.org\</code>) to the NetworkService's configuration folder.

There were a few changes needed to setup the service in step 3. Specifically, the argument <code>bin</code> in <code>sc create</code> changed to <code>binPath</code>, and required the .exe tacked onto the end.

Say you wanted to run the service on a different port like: <code>quasselcore.exe -p 4241</code>. We need to add another registry value according to the "srvany readme":http://www.rezsoft.org/pforward/reskit/readme.txt.
