User Account

[Guest]

I just looked at my user account which I have not checked for awhile and I
find something new that I did not enter there. I am the only user most of
the time. I have Guest account turned off but there is a new to me user?
titled as
ASP.NET MACHINE A.... Limited account password protected.
What/who/why can that be?
Please help.

I believe that is added when you install the .net framework which is a
windows update. You may have not even noticed it. I have it on my machine as
well.

What is the ASP.NET Machine Account?

[[When you install the .NET Framework 1.1, a hidden local user account that
is named ASPNET is created. When you start Windows, Windows treats the
ASPNET local user account as an additional user account, although the ASPNET
user account is hidden.]]
