User means Windows user, not root.

Actually there is another way to do the same, instead of running the=20
service as your Windows user (the one that has ~/.ssh/<the keys>), you=20
can pass the -i /path/to/your/home/.ssh/id_dsa (or id_rsa) to ssh.

Snippet from man ssh:

      -i identity_file
              Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for=20
RSA or
              DSA authentication is read.  The default is=20
~/.ssh/identity for
              protocol version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa=20
for pro-
              tocol version 2.  Identity files may also be specified on=20
a per-
              host basis in the configuration file.  It is possible to have
              multiple -i options (and multiple identities specified in=20
config-
              uration files).
