Check Your User Accounts

I have found a boogeyman in my User Accounts. It seems I have an account I never created, but MS does without you knowing it. Done so when you download and install Netframework 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0.

It's called:
ASP.NET Machine A.....
Limited user Account
Password protected

Explained here: http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/aspdot.php

And better info here: http://forums.computeractive.co.uk/t...751686&#751686

Seeing I have gaming programs that require NetFramework 1.1 and 2.0, I have reservations on deleting it. But in the second link it explains more on what happens and if it's safe to do so. Bye bye ASP.NET Machine A..... account. I've deleted the account and have no problems. Note too that some users have them intstalled but the account was never created.

I wonder to if this happens with Netframework installed on Vista.
