which_database has troubles with the service, because the database is stored
in the Windows 'application data' directory, and this is different for
services and users, so it can't find it.

The default is to use the best dbm; in your case this is dbhash.  It's
really up to you whether you use dbhash or a pickle; the help string and the
FAQ have information comparing the two.  (You definitely don't want to be
using dumbdbm).
