I am setting up a Windows Service at a clients site and a window comes up:
Set Service Login
that asks for UserName and Password.
Is this the credentials that the service will logon as or maybe to install
the service?
How do I get it to use the login I am logged in on?
I am the administrator on this machine.
Thanks,

A service runs all the time, and needs a specific username context to
run under, it can't run under "whoever is logged on at any given time".
If you want that kind of security, make the program auto-start when the
user logs on instead, and not a service.
If you're the administrator of the machine, and wants the service to
have your access rights, specify your own username and password for it.
Typically though you would create a new user specifically for the
service with the correct access rights according to what it needs to do.
