auto logon

[Guest]

How can I get Win XP to auto logon to my account on my home computer? Also
what is this other account ASP.NET limited user password protected?

Hi

If you want to bypass the Welcome screen, try this:

From Start>Run type in

control userpasswords2

then uncheck 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer' and click 'Apply'. On the next screen - 'Automatically Log On' -
delete the name 'Administrator' from the User name box and enter your
account name and then the password in the next two boxes. OK your way out
and then reboot your system.

Or you can use Tweak UI:

You can download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp and when
installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Autologon.

Please have a look a the following article:

ASP.NET Account:
The aspnet_wp or ASP.NET Machine Account is created when the Microsoft .Net
Framework 1.1 is installed onto a Windows XP computer. The user is created
to run the asp.net worker process used in Microsoft's Internet Information
Services, which allows ASP.net to run on your local web server (This is
pretty much its only use, it is not used to run normal .net managed
executables). There is not a need to worry about this user's presence; it
was not created in malicious way.
