Hi Jim,
I cannot comment on booting to the desktop on its own, etc. That is not
something caused by ASP.NET.
The ASPNET account is a local account that is created when ASP.NET is
installed and it is used to run the ASP.NET worker process. It is a
non-interactive account and does not have the right to log on locally.
You can delete the account, but then your ASP.NET applications and Web
services will not work unless you run aspnet_regiis -i or create a new
account manually and specify it in your processModel element of the
machine.config.

| Sorry to ask a question that is probably mundane to you all here but I
have
| two systems at work that mysteriously created an ASP.NET user account
| seemingly on their own. I don't know if these accounts can be deleted or
| even what they are doing there. What I do know is that one system booted
to
| the desktop without any action and now it stops at the logon screen to
find
| out which user I want to log on. Any comments?
