Problem with ASP.NET user account
Hello to all
Windows has created a user account ASP.NET, and I'd like to know where it comes from and its usefulness. And if I can delete it without having an impact on the operating system, if so, how to remove it.
My system: Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Re: Problem with ASP.NET user account
It was created after installing NET Framework?
Start, Control Panel, User Accounts, and delete the account, including files.

Thank you for your prompt response.
By removing it I am not at risk of having a problem with the Operating System?
Re: Problem with ASP.NET user account
The aspnet_wp or ASP.NET Machine Account is created when the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 is installed onto a Windows XP computer. The user is created to run the asp.net worker process used in Microsoft's Internet Information Services, which allows ASP.net to run on your local web server (This is pretty much its only use, it is not used to run normal .net managed executables). There is not a need to worry about this user's presence; it was not created in malicious way.
ASP.net is a programming framework built on the common language runtime (Microsoft .net framework) which can be used on a server to build powerful Web applications. For more information on ASP.net see here

I just had the same problem, here is the simple solution. Every time my computer went into screen saver I had to log in again to get back in. I found a simple solution.
You do not need to delete it, simply go to the desktop, right click in the center of the screen, then click on "Screensaver" go to the bottom of the page and uncheck "on resume password protect" and that will fix it, and keep you from having to log in again.
