Noticed this user was added either during HP printer installation or during
DSL installation. What is it and can I delete it?

Hi Brent,

..Net 1.1 creates the user account with or without IIS being installed. It
is installed during the .Net Framework update. It can only be deleted, not
disabled.

If you generally use Auto-Logon:

Welcome to Windows Screen Appears When You Start Windows XP After You
Install the .NET Framework 1.1: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=827072

To correct:

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, left click your user name then clear the Users Must
Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click
OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the "user name
and password" for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

Added note: (Alex MVP)

If you want to logon to one of the other users, hold down shift as the
system boots up.


Tip:

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)

Remove ASPNET from the Welcome Screen for Auto Logon (Line 352) Right hand
side

Resolves the Auto Logon within 1.1 issue:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
