›› What do the values under the Log On tab of the service properties dialog mean?

The Log On tab allows for a general way to associate user permissions to the permissions of the specified service. Most services log on as the local system account, but if you want the service to access protected resources you can specify to log on as a specific account that has access to those resources. You can also choose to enable or disable the specified service for each hardware profile listed.
