+Non Administrative vs. Administrative Installation Mode
+By default, Setup installs Syncthing for the current user only. This is recommeded for most users.
+If you want to install Syncthing as a Windows service (recommended for more advanced users), you must specify the
+      /allusers
+parameter on Setup's command line (see Setup Command Line Parameters). This parameter is also required if you want to reinstall the service.
+NOTE: Installing in administrative (all users) installation mode means you must manually configure folder permissions to add folders to the Syncthing configuration (see Granting Folder Permissions for the Service Account).
+See below for the differences between the two modes.

+The folder path can be changed. Have done it many times. Shutdown Syncthing, open the config file (if need location this forum can help), and change the folder path. Don’t forget to rename/move the folder as well.
