My Code

Answer 1

Right click on the service in service.msc and select property.

You will see a folder path under Path to executable like C:\Users\Me\Desktop\project\Tor\Tor\tor.exe

Navigate to C:\Users\Me\Desktop\project\Tor and right click on Tor.

Select property, security, edit and then add. In the text field enter LOCAL SERVICE, click ok and then check the box FULL CONTROL

Click on add again then enter NETWORK SERVICE, click ok, check the box FULL CONTROL

Then click ok (at the bottom)
