Unsollicited user ASP.NET

[PaulPatruno]

1) I found in my list of Users, one named ASP.NET with
limited privileges.
I do not recall creating that one.
Can I delete it without any problem ?

2) I also found a duplicate Administrator folder in
Documents and Settings, named Administator.MyComputerName.
Can I delete it without any problem as well ?

1) This is created when you installed the patch for .NET framework. I have
no idea the implications of deleting the user.

2) The duplicate user was created when, for some reason, the original
profile could not load. Depending on the reasoning and such, deleting it
and then logging back on as the administrator will just recreate it -
likely. But deleting it will have no ill affects *IF* you are sure you have
nothing on that user you need.

It is from the installation of the v1.1 .Net Framework and
is used to run .Net assemblies with lower privs
You are better off keeping it.

It will just get recreated.
The original, without the .MyComputerName is no longer
usable. You could salvage anything desired from it and
delete it. If you delete both you will likely end up with a
new virgin profile named without the extension.
