[AndrewBarker]

yes just delete that asp account and everything should be ok, you don't need a password

I had one turn up once when I did a windows update

[kaiweiler]

much appreciated

[peat moss]

Kai glad its fixed I only download critical updates. I like to know what the others do . Do you have auto updates enabled? Might what to check that out

[kaiweiler]

nope, but i just installed my OS on my new comp, so i had to go and get some updates for it, so i got all the critical and a few of the recommended as well
as for autoupdate yeah i have that on. i didn't on my last comp, just to save as many resources as i could, but i figure i've got plenty to spare with this one

I find that very very funny

If its still going to be their, it defeats the purpose of turning the bastard off

no dice NightStalker...
that just makes it come up with a window where i have to type in my password anyway, just doesnt give me the menu where i can just click a pic, so it's just harder
but thanks for trying
anyone else?

Not a good idea. Sounds like you want the click the pick auto login thingie.

Thats a security risk. Its not wise to do that, hell with windows its not wise to even display what users have accounts on the sytem period. Whether it be through a one click user posted image on the welcome screen, or a displaying last user logon when the welcome screen is disabled.

Just get tweakui or do it in the group policy settings. Disable the welcome screen and use the regular logon where you have to enter a "username" and "password" everytime you log on to the to the box.

Youll get to see plenty of your user account picture when you click your start menu and your logged on safely.


Btw, you need a asp.net account on your machine if you ever want be able to run ms asp.net web content on IIS with that machine. If your strickly a php kinda guy then you go boy!!!

Never got any critical updates, service packs, or whatever, and I don't use any firewall (expect winxp's one). Bottom line: it doesn't matter how much critical updates you install. What really matters is HO[B]W you actually use your computer.

Take me for example, never had any trouble since I know what to do and what to not do

The ASP.net account was created after you had installed the Microsoft .NET Framework. Happened to me as well and had to delete the ASP.net account from the User Accounts. Damn! Microsoft should tell us about this beforehand!
