It's not that simple. here are two parts, the real service and the client started from this service. The real service is running as
the system account, that is right. The service has no access rights to ANY (secure) fileserver. It can do nothing.
Now it is getting into windows internals, difficult to explain. As an easy description I would say that the service gets the Windows
User ID and starts the client with this User ID. The client now runs as a user, but has some privileges of a service. (Like that it
is not closed on logoff)

Yes, it was tested, but I think I will personally test it again with different user accounts on windows and linux.
