User Account: ASP.NET Machine A...

[Riccardo Gambineri]

I found in my machine the following user
account: "ASP.NET Machine A..."

Do you know from where this account is coming from?
However,I already deleted it.

Regards,
Riccardo

Riccardo;
The account was created when you installed the Windows .NET Framework
1.1
update from Windows Update.
The account is used by .NET Framework enabled applications to run in a
lower
and therefore a more secure context then running under your account
(which
may be an administrator or some other highly privileged account).
Removal or modification of this account may break any .NET Framework
applications. (There are already a few out there and significanlty
more on
their way).

I have been told that the definition of this account
when the .Net Framework v 1.1 is installed, is an
error when IIS is not present.
Your deleting the account should not cause any
issues if you are running Home edition or Pro and
do not have IIS installed.
