Server service: change jvm memory

The user account running the AVIX Server service provides the access permissions for the server. Local Service - the default account in use after registering the AVIX Server as a Windows service - runs with low privileges. This means that is will not have any access to network file resources.

Why change user account? If the server cannot access folders or drives containing linked files (movies, images etc), you typically need to run the server with another account with adequate permissions.
