Windows XP Administrator

[levemircento]

I installed phone software on my other halfs pc for her sony phone, it added in the inet framework, and since then a new computer administrator has appeared in the user list [or at least, become evident] thats no great problem, its just that when the pc starts it does so into that new account, and all of the users software etc is on another account [also a computer administrator], so that means logging off and switching users each time, which is a pain.

its win xp, obvoiusly. Any ideas on how to get the pc to start up as one particular user?

Have you put on the .NET framework service packs? Use Windows update - it should remove this admin account - is it an ASP one?

Asp?

Update to .NET service pack one - it stops this from happening

(As Stu says, use Windows update)

While we are on Topic, I noticed one day I had this "ASP.net" account in my user areas.

It does not display at the log on screen where I have to enter my password and I never knew it was there and I deleted it.

I've just noticed that its back.

What does it do, does it take up much space and can I delete it safely? I can't even log into it, its just there and I haven't used any Windows Updates for ages.

it usually stays in the user list, but doenst "function". just leave it there, some of the .net frameworks use it for correct permissions.

some of the .net frameworks use it for correct permissions.

Its not even an Admin account though its a limited user account

I'll leave my virtual user be, long as it doesn't try to delete my porn or anything.

Its a limited user account but with special permissions on some of the crucial folders for .net sheit to run.
