DotNet creating user accounts

[John Davidson]

When installing the distributable .Net Framework does it have the ability to
create additional user accounts without notifying the installer?
I have a client that says when he installed the .Net Framework it created an
additional user account called 'Administrator' and he is blaming it for
causing configuration problems to his XP Home desktop computer.
His main problem is, his computer used to boot up without going to the logon
screen, straight though to the desktop, but after installing .Net franework
it always wants him to select a user.
What would cause the framework to change any boot configurations?
Thank in advance,
John Davidson

Hi,


The dotnet framework did add a couple of user accounts when
installing. It did not add the administrator account. That was created
when xp was installed. It added the asp.net machine account, and sql
debugger.

To make XP login to his account automatically.

The Administrator account is a Windows XP account. It is created when
Windows is installed. .NET did not create that account.

I doubt that the installation of .NET caused his problem. Have him go into
Control Panel and then click Users. From there click "Change the way users
log in". He can then choose how he wants it to work.
