Re: Why is there an ASP.NET account on my machine?

Hey, I have an idea. Why not someone change Windows XP so that it ignores the ASP.net Account when determining if the Welcome screen should be displayed. Everyone seems to agree that the account is unusable by a real person, so why the should it treated as if it is? Surely that's better than billions of users all having to scratch their heads, search forums, and delete useless accounts. Maybe that's too obvious.

Some pretty handy solutions above for this. Is there an asp.net manual as there is with php?

This account is used by default by the asp.net engine to run the website on your local computer.

Yes it is easily solved, it's the way the NET Framework 1.1 and the service pack was downloaded and installed, don't delete the account, simple solution:

Re-download the NET Framework service pack 1.1 again from microsoft, click run, it will say you have it installed already, do you wish to re-install it it, click yes.

After a few seconds it's done, re-check your user accounts and the ASP.NET user account will no longer be there.

Well, simply disable the account is enough to ensure you don't need to reinstall .NET framework again when you want to do some ASP.NET development. ASPNET account is only used by aspnet_wp.exe in IIS 5 (or IIS 5 compatible mode for IIS 6). If you use IIS 6 and above where worker process name is w3wp.exe, you can disable ASPNET even if you do ASP.NET development.

You can delete the ASP .Net account. It's not needed unless you are doing active .Net development.

Alternatively, you can install Microsoft's TweakUI and use it's Logon utility to specify what userid (and password) you want logged on automatically when XP boots.

With the direction listed above; In the "computer managment tool" I do not have a "local user and group node".

Can I just delete the accont from the 'manage user account" without interferring with the applications? When I select delete account, I'm asked "do you want to delete all folders".

Thanks

Have you tried simply leaving the password empty?

I'm having a similar problem as describe in your section regarding the asp.net account appearing in my "welcome" screen. My particular problem is that in the welcome screen, it request that I enter a password to access my own account. I have never set any password prior to this problem. Windows will not launch if I am not able to provide the right password. I have no idea what the password is. Please help. Thanks.
