   In that case I would advice you to sign up for a basic class in   
   Windows administration. Windows is your everyday working environment,   
   and you need basic knowledge about it do your job. Maybe you could   
   get away without knowing Windows as a FoxPro developer. With SQL Server   
   it's becoming impeccable.   
      
   And, no, this is nothing advanced. My question is akin to asking a   
   car driver "you know what petrol is, dont' you".

   Then you use that dialogue to create a user and then you select that as   
   the service account. Setup will assign that account the permissions   
   needed.   
      
   Keep in mind that I don't know what environment you are in. If you   
   are in a domain, your adminstrator may want you to use a certain   
   account, or have one that you can use. Then again, if you run XP   
   Home, you are probably not in a workplace. But I can only guess.
