I have "Administrator", "ASPNET", and "me"; Administrator and me
are in "Administrators" group, and ASPNET is in "Users" group. Any
idea what ASPNET might be?

Thanks. Is it likely to do any _harm_ if I just ignore it?


It's supposed to be a limited account. I suspect it might be used,
if your machine was running Microsoft IIS web server (a Windows Features
option you can turn on in some flavor of WinXP). Then, you'd be
writing some sort of code to communicate with a web browser
on another machine.


I'm pretty certain I'm not!

The account is probably as dangerous as the Guest account.
By being a separate account, it allows a savvy user to
modify things for that specific account and situation.
And not hijack some other account for that purpose.

I'll leave well alone. No-one is going to have access to the machine to
log in as that account, and I don't think it can be logged in to
remotely, can it?

I reckon in a few years we'll have GoogleBum. You'll type in someone's name
and it will show you what their bum looks like. Even if they've never posted a
nude picture, it will reconstruct their bum from bits of their face and leg
and whatever else they can find. - Charlie Brooker, RT 2014/12/13-19
