Update documentation to include information on monitor running in Windows Local System account #12

Tomcat has a nice utility to run as a system service in Windows, but the default for that one is to run as the local system account.

That means that any kind of license needs to go in that users folder (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.datacleaner), which we don't have anything to explain. To make matters much more confusing for users, the error is a 404 without any explanation (which is something we may want to change as well).

Oh, and the Windows GUI refuses to create a folder beginning with '.', so we'll also need to explain how to create that using the command line.
