My install is working ok, but I don't have a postgres user in the user
accounts control panel (I'm the admin account and the only other
account listed is "Guest"). So I think it is some other class of user
account that does not show up in the control panel. Or perhaps
PostgreSQL does not install it properly. But the task manager shows
that postmaster.exe is running with the postgres account.
