Asp.net A...'s machine

[RJK]

I've just installed Microsoft.net.framework 1.1 and 2.0 during some Windows
updates, and of course this has affected start up in that I get a log on
screen because there is a new account in "User Accounts." I know that I
can simply delete that account and both .net frameworks remain in there for
applications that need to make use of them, which is why I installed them !
....and that I won't get the logon screen again because I'll be back to just
one administrator account - mine - on a stand alone machine.

When I got to Control Panel | "User Accounts" and select the account
"ASP.NET Machine A...'s" account and click on "Delete the account," I get
asked, do I want the files save the files associated with the account to the
desktop," or something similar. So, do I need to save them, what are they
for, and why is the nuisance account created in the first place ?

TIA

regards, Richard

Richard;
First, just leave that account there since it may be needed, password to
protect if desired.

To boot straight to Windows without the need for logging in:
Start/Run
Type "control userpasswords2" ENTER
Uncheck "Users must enter..."
Click OK and follow prompts.

issue.

Thanks Woody, I'd forgotten there was an update for 1.1

I didn't know that it corrected the "new" account issue, anyway !

Hya, I have just found this user account and guess what, it has appeared at
the same time as my computer was oing bonkers with spyware and viruses, I
keep clearing the damn things but the computer is still slow could this be
the cause?
