Guest Jo-Anne Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I just looked at the user accounts on my old desktop computer (Windows XP Home SP3)--for the first time--and I found the following besides the Administrator and Guest accounts: ASP.NET Machine A... Limited account Password protected I Googled it and learned that it's something from Microsoft. Is it OK (safe) to leave it there? It's not on my new notebook computer with XP Pro SP2... Thanks much!

Guest Mick Murphy Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: ASP.NET user account OK, Jane. I forget which .Net update it was; whether it was 1.0 to1.1, or another update to it. I had the same as you, another user account through it; and never got that optional .Net update again when reinstalling XP.. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Jo-Anne" wrote: > Thank you, Mick! > > Jo-Anne > > "Mick Murphy" <MickMurphy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:6589C912-1B0E-4F8A-909B-A90FD882A82C@microsoft.com... > > It's safe. > > All it means is that you have downloaded an optional update for .Net > > Framework > > -- > > Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia > > > > > > "Jo-Anne" wrote: > > > >> I just looked at the user accounts on my old desktop computer (Windows XP > >> Home SP3)--for the first time--and I found the following besides the > >> Administrator and Guest accounts: > >> > >> ASP.NET Machine A... > >> Limited account > >> Password protected > >> > >> I Googled it and learned that it's something from Microsoft.
