ASPNET machine account

[Guest]

Hi,

Does anyone know why ASPNET machine account shows up on WinXP default
(non-classic) login screen? Has anyone seen this before? How to remove it?

Please advice, thanks!

Do you want to remove the account itself? If so, just type "control
userpasswords2" in Start/Run and remove the ASPNET account.

To just remove the name from the Welcome screen but keep the account: Open
registry and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList. On the right pane, set
value to 0 for ASPNET the account.

HTH.
