Add note on temporary directory for Windows service 

The Windows service will use a private temporary directory under the

by Elasticsearch when it is running. This private temporary directory is

running the installation. If the service will run under a different user, you
can configure the location of the temporary directory that the service should
use by setting the environment variable `ES_TMPDIR` to the preferred location
before you execute the service installation.
Using the Manager GUI::
It is also possible to configure the service after it's been installed using the manager GUI (`elasticsearch-service-mgr.exe`), which offers insight into the installed service, including its status, startup type, JVM, start and stop settings amongst other things. Simply invoking `elasticsearch-service.bat manager` from the command-line will open up the manager window:
