The default configuration for is Windows a bit dangerous #82

The default mongoose.conf that came with the windows installation package 
is a bit dangerous security-wise because:
1. It serves C:\ by default
2. "Run mongoose as service" is checked as default.

What will happen then is that you'll be serving your C:\ without indication 
(after, it's a service). Though the user should be smart knowing what he's 
installing, I still think it's sensible to do something about this. Like 
prompting during installation what directory to server if running as a 
service, else, don't put any default root.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 2.8

Since version 2.10, there will be no installer, just standalone executable.
Marking as fixed :-)
