 Priority:  normal        |      Milestone:  Tor: 0.2.5.x-final

 When normal running TOR on Windows, it prompts the reading configuration
 file location such as

 {{{
 Dec 23 05:31:11.523 [notice] Read configuration file
 "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\tor\torrc".
 }}}
 But TOR does not prompt this location when running as Windows Service, and
 the torrc file is usually in a totally different location when running as
 service. TOR just prompt this service is started in command line.

 {{{
 D:\tor>tor --service start

 Service started successfully
 }}}
 so it is hard to find which torrc file it is reading. Need a fix on this
 issue to make it a litter easier.
