asp.net account

[CJ]

Running XP Home SP2, not long ago downloaded microsoft .net, because one
of my programmes would not work without it, not really sure what .net is
anyway.

Now I have a new user account called "ASP.NET Machine A...'s account"
limited and password protected. Is this something to worry about, and
can I delete this account without affecting my computer performance?

Just another question to sneak in, please. The reason I went to user
accounts in the first place, was to stop the Welcome screen appearing
every time my computer reboots, I simply want to go straight to desktop,
any ideas please.

Thanks for advice.

Yes, you can delete it, as long as you're not developing applications with the .NET programming packages. However, you can set the computer to auto logon.

1) Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2) Select the user account you want automatically logged on (this avoids the Administrator account being selected by default)
3) Uncheck Users must enter username and password..........
4) Click Apply
5) In the next dialog, enter the password, if any, for the account you chose in Step 2
6) Ok your way out
