  2. Double-click Services and Applications.
  3. Double-click Services.
  4. Scroll down to the services listed for CCH Scan, and then scroll to the right until you see a Log On As column.
  5. Right-click Folder Watch, and then select Properties.
  6. Click the Log On tab.
  7. Select This account.
  8. Enter the user name and password for the administrative account that you want to use.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Repeat steps 6 through 10, this time selecting PDF Export instead of Folder Watch.

Note: You must stop and restart a service after a change has been made.
