So a few days ago my installation of Windows XP pro has, seemingly out of the blue, started to make me login.

I'm Given the option of only logging in under my account but another account exists. ASP.NET. I did install .Net 1.1 recently and know this account is from possibly from that.
Below explains I can delete it "but it is vital if you do asp.net development work on your machine"

I am an admin on my clan's BF2 server so use BF2cc. This is the only thing I use .Net for.

Can I delete this account? And will it not longer prompt me to login when I boot?
I have "Use the welcome screen" and "Use fast user switching" both turned off in accounts. I just want the logon to go away :)

Thanks
 
better to make it a hidden account from the login screen - open regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Add a DWORD value named ASP.NET and leave it at a value of 0

Close regedit and reboot.
 
well, start->run-> "enter control userpasswords2" and then untick, User must enter a user name and password to use the computer

It avoids the problem :)

Was just about to look for that bit of registry as well :)

quickest way by far to do it

but remove the enter part!
 
If you install all the updates this should be fixed - the service pack for .NET Framework 1.1 is supposed to solve the problem and usually does for me.
