+
+       This is only needed for true Windows services running via
+       "Python for Windows Extensions" - which probably only includes
+       the Rattail File Monitor service.
+
+       In this context there is no way to tell the app which config
+       files to read on startup, so it can only look for "default"
+       files.  But by passing a ``winsvc`` name to this function, it
+       will first load the default config file, then read a particular
+       value to determine the "real" config file(s) it should use.
+
+       So for example on Windows you might have a config file at
+       ``C:\\ProgramData\\rattail\\rattail.conf`` with contents:
+
+       .. code-block:: ini
+
+          [rattail.config]
+          winsvc.RattailFileMonitor = C:\\ProgramData\\rattail\\filemon.conf
+
+       And then ``C:\\ProgramData\\rattail\\filemon.conf`` would have
+       the actual config for the filemon service.
+
+       When the service starts it calls::
+
+          make_config(winsvc='RattailFileMonitor')
+
+       which first reads the ``rattail.conf`` file (since that is the
+       only sensible default), but then per config it knows to swap
+       that out for ``filemon.conf`` at startup.  This is because it
+       finds a config value matching the requested service name.  The
+       end result is as if it called this instead::
+
+          make_config(files=[r'C:\\ProgramData\\rattail\\filemon.conf'])
+
     :returns: List of file paths.
