I am the computer administrator/owner of my home p.c.
I have 2 questions...please. First, under the "users"
icon on my control panel settings, I have a user named
"asp.net machine...". Is this for my .net passport, or
can I remove it as a user account. I did not create this
account, unless its associated with .net.
Second, in another window I have been loocking at, I also
notice there are 2 users for this system, one has my name
listed as administrator, and the other account reads
owner. this are the same users, so is it possible to
deleate the "owner" user account, and only use "admin-
isrtator", or are there different computer settings,
etc., assigned to each account, even though they're both
me? Please help...Thanks
 
The ASP.NET machine account was created when the .NET Framework was
installed. It *can* be deleted safely, but I would just recommend
disabling it, if you don't want to keep it active. You'll need to re-enable
the account if you want to do any ASP.NET development on that machine.

The Administrator account is just that - it's the God account on the
machine. Your Owner account more than likely is a member of the
Administrators group, and therefore has the same rights that the
Administrator account itself does.

I would not - however - recommend removing the Owner account and just using
Administrator. Administrator should *never* be used as a primary account.
It should really only be used in emergencies when other admin accounts are
not available.
