I was told that in order to have Windows XP start up without signing in,
there could be only one account. I thought there was one and when I went to
User Accounts to look there is an account named ASP.NET from Microsoft that
is password protected. How do I remove it? What in the world is it and why
was it put there? It said that if I remove it, I have to keep the files.
It's not in my add/remove programs.

It's to run Web applications. Are you running a web server or
are you developing web apps? More info can be gleaned from
a search at microsoft.com .

I don't think so. I'm retired and use the computer for PSP programs. When I
looked on Microsoft, I couldn't understand what any of it was saying. I
never had it before but just got done reinstalling XP and it showed up. It
said if I removed it, I had to keep it's files on the desktop. I didn't then
want to put them in the recycle bin and get rid of them if I'm supposed to
keep them. When you ask if I'm running applications, do you mean do I go on
the internet? Thanks
 
No, I asked if you were developing Web applications or
running a Web server. Web applications run on Web
servers. Since you are doing neither, you don't need
the ASP.NET account. But you may need the
Framework.net for running apps which require the
..NET runtime environment (such as VisualBasic.NET
and C# programs). It should be listed in Add/Remove
Programs separately as Microsoft .NET Framework,
so you don't have to worry about the Framework.NET
going away.

Yes, I could understand the one and since it's my computer and I will never
be doing a web site or anything we deleted it. Now the computer starts and I
don't have to log in. Thanks I always have a hard time navigating
Microsoft's site. I don't have a computer language and never get my
questions answered.
 
Never say never. ;-)

Even easier, don't install .NET.

more and more applications are going to be dependent on .NET, there's no
getting away from it. Eventually you will have to install it.

That is installed as part of the .NET upgrade, and should be left alone

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP
On its logon page uncheck 'Show ASP.NET on Welcome screen', and click
Apply
 
Like what application, for instance?

Although a utility, Norton Ghost 9.0 (né Powerquest Drive Image 7)
requires Framework.net to be installed. Now whether Framework.net
adds an ASP.NET account, I don't know.

Norton uses .net framework and that's a recommendation?

Who recommended anything? *I* didn't. I merely answered
your question about what application requires Framework.net.
And I even prefaced that with the comment that Ghost was a
utility.

I should have replied...

Thank you very much for the reply. I do not care for any Norton software.
