Can't get Tomcat to use account other than System

[Mark Leone <mi...@cox.net>]

I think this is a pretty basic question, but I couldn't find an answer 
in the archives. I've been using Tomcat for a while, with Tomcat logging 
on as the local System account. Now I'd like Tomcat to have some 
additional access rights, so I'm trying to get it to log on as a 
privileged user. I have Tomcat 5.5.8 installed as a Service on Windows 
XP. I launch the Service properties window, go to the "Log On" tab, 
check the "This Account" radio button, and then enter the account 
credentials.

The credentials seem to be accepted, but if I close the Service 
properties window and re-launch it, the "Log On" tab has reverted to its 
default configuration, i.e. Log on as "Local System Account" is enabled 
instead of the account I specified. And Tomcat doesn't have the access 
rights I'd like it to have, even after restart.
