What is the "aspnet worker process" that seems to have created its
self a user on my computer? running windows xp pro
that new user acct was made when you installed the .NET runtime package
from Windows Update. It's a very limited-privledge accnt that some (few,
if any, really) .NET applications might need to run properly. Just leave
it alone.
the only "side effect" of having that account is that some users have
found that the welcome screen now pauses waiting for them to pick an
account (and only 1 appears), when before it just went right into the only
real user account, because it had no password. this fault can be cured w/
TweakUI, in the "Logon" section simply uncheck "show ASPNET on the welcome
screen". [I know, it never showed anyway! but this is the fix.]
