Why does my computer have an ASP.NET account?

If you have installed updates or new software on your computer, you have installed Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1, which includes a common runtime application that the applications you run may need. During this installation, an account called ASP.NET is created. If your computer has already displayed your desktop immediately after starting it, you can see a welcome screen when you start your computer with your existing user account and ASP.NET account. That’s because there are now two accounts on your computer.

The account does not allow remote or interactive connection and only has Guest level privileges. Therefore, it cannot be used by anyone else or by Microsoft to connect to your computer. If you use your computer for personal use only (i.e., if you are not a software developer who must develop and test software using Internet Information Services (IIS)), you can delete this account in one of the following ways:

1) Delete the account and leave the .NET Framework installed:
– Start the computer management tool in your Administrative Tools folder (under Control Panel).
– Select the Local Users and Groups node.
– Click on the Users sub-node and select the ASPNET account.
– Right-click on the selected account and select Delete.
