title: Where to store Windows Service configuration file
body: <p>I'm creating a Windows Service in <code>C++</code> that acts as a server. I need to store some configuration values (listening interface, ports) in a text file and other settings and users in a SQLite-Database file. Should I use the <code>AppData</code> folder or <code>System32</code>, because that's the default Windows Service working directory. Can I use the folder where the <code>.exe</code> is located? The Service runs as <code>LocalSystem</code>, so I shouldn't have any problem with permissions.</p>
