I have written a windows service which creates a file on local drive (C:\Testing folder).
I have installed this service. I am starting this service from web application hosted in IIS.
If i hardcode this path in service code, the service works fine but if I pass the path through web application to the web service, Events log showing an excepetion
Service cannot be started. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Testing' is denied.
I have admin access on my machine and I am starting the service with the same account. How can I get rid of this exception?

or if your service runs under a specific account (e.g. your own Windows admin account), give that account write permissions to the folder.
The service security tab in Services.msc:
