Cannot delete ASP.NET account

B

Previously my XP machine I booted directly to my desktop. Now, when
starting up, it stops at an account page awaiting me to click on my account
name to continue booting to desktop. In the past, I'd found that this
occurred because a new account; ASP.NET, had been added on an update. I
deleted this account and got back to booting directly to desktop.

I've opened up the user accounts in control panel and lo and behold ,the
ASP.NET account is back (!?!)

I've tried to delete the account but I keep getting a user account window
popping up with a yellow exclamation marked triangle and the words "more
date is available". I can only click OK and that's it, I can't delete the
account and on restart/startup back to account page.

Appreciate instructions how to delete this account

Elmo,

Many thanks for your response. Been to linked article and read but no joy.
I'm still not able to delete the ASP.NET account.

I had the same problem. It's caused by a Net Framework update.

No need to delete the ASP.NET account, you can disable it so it will not
show up any longer at logon.

Download TweakUI XP, its a free very small tool from Microsoft.

Start Tweakui, section Logon, disable ASPNET

That's odd... I have the ASP.NET account too. I have TweakUI XP (v2.10)
under Windows XP 32-bit SP3 with .NET v2, v3, v3.5, v4. But I don't see
the "Disable ASPNET" (or "Disable ASN.NET") setting. I only see two
settings:

* Keep RAS connections after logoff
* Parse Autoexec.bat at logon

The Group Policy doesn't seem to have a setting that involves "ASP.NET"
either. Any alternative? Exact registry setting perhaps?

Uh... neverminds about that.

Turns out that because I've disabled the Welcome Screen. Temporary
enabling it would make TweakUI shows the Welcome Screen settings. I
noticed the ASP.NET account from the Local Users and Groups MMC snap-in
(Computer Management).
