Hi Jason,

As near as I can tell, the establishment of PostgreSQL as a service only
needs to be initially set up with a user name with a password.  After the
initial set up, that user doesn't need
to log on in order for the service to start.  In other words, if I INSTALL
PostgreSQL as a
service under George Weaver, password 123456,  I do not need to log in as
George Weaver for the service to start.  I can do a cold boot, log
in as Guest (no administrative privileges), and PostgreSQL is available to
me.

However, if I change the user name or password that installed PostgreSQL as
a service, it won't start as a service, giving the "The service did not
start due to a logon error" message.  From a non-computer expert, layman
standpoint, it appears that the service needs the security to know that at
one point in time, a properly authorized user installed it, and that user
still exists on the system.

Regards,
George
