 In your administrator command prompt, run "`regedit`".  Use it to navigate to "`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetservices`"; in that long list of services you will find a "`Buildbot`" entry (i.e. folder).  Right click the `Buildbot` folder and select permissions.  In the dialog that comes up, add a new user to the list, and then grant that user "Full Control".
 
-Now try ''again'' to start the service.  Windows will again immediately complain that the service shutdown immediately; that's fine.
+Now try ''again'' to start the service.  Windows will again immediately complain that the service shutdown immediately; that's fine.  This step is required in order to create the "Parameters" key we'll use in the next step.
 
 Finally, under that "Buildbot" services in the registry you will find a "Parameters" key (you may need to hit F5 to refresh so you can see it).  There are currently no values under this key.  You will need to *create* a 'String Value' under "Parameters" which is named "directories".  Set the value of "directories" to be the full path to your slave's configuration directory.  This is the same directory where `buildbot.tac` and `twistd.log` live.
