new user account I didn't make..

DocClock aka MadClocker · Feb 11, 2008

I was poking around today to see why I need to click on my name to logon, when I had it set to autologon...now I see an account named "asp.net" limited user account..WTF? where did it come from, and does it have to do with the Windoze feedback program?
The only account I created was my admin accnt, as I'm the only user.
Any Ideas?
Nervous

Forgot to mention I'm using XP home sp2

It should be ASPNET and it's a system account that runs the asp.net service so you must have installed ASP.Net or had a program set it up.

I've got the same stuff as you. I have an account like that as well. No idea where it comes from. Could do a google to find out though.

It gets put there by .NET framework, 1.1 I believe. There are ways to get rid of it if you do some searching, or just disable the welcome screen.

Download and run TweakUI for XP...

XP Powertoys

... then highlight "Logon", and under Settings un-check "Show ASPNET on Welcome screen".

Thanks everybody,
I did install a .net framework for BF2142 I think.
This place still rocks
