ok, you want the torrc to reside in "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Dane aplikacji\tor\". you also want the "log on" option to use the LocalService account. so i would:
1.) close vidalia & stop tor, make sure no tor.exe is running
2.) remove the tor service with command "tor --service remove"
3.) reinstall the tor service with command "tor --service install"
now you should check in the service properties that the command line is correct ("path to executable"):
""C:\Program Files\Tor\tor.exe" --nt-service"
if it doesn't look just like this, then maybe there is a bug with "tor -install". you can manually edit the "path to executable" by using regedit and navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tor and then editing the "ImagePath" string so it doesn't have improper quotes, etc.
you also want to put all the options in torrc, including that rogue "ControlPort 9051" that was being put in the command line.
now, you will have a cleanly configured tor service with the torrc, cached-routers, cached-status, etc. in the "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Dane aplikacji\tor\" directory.

so it sounds like there is a problem with the Nickname option? according to the manpage this option can only use characters [a-zA-Z0-9], so that hyphen is invalid. i get the same error 7023 when trying that nickname, but everything works OK if i use "popotest"
