Windows XP Logon Screen

    I recently installed .Net Framework and now when I boot up Windows it stops at the logon screen for me to choose a user even though there is only one logon username to select.

    When I look in user accounts in control panel I see another account called 'ASP.NET Machine A' which is a limited acount which I cannot get into.

    Would it matter if I deleted this user account or would I be best just to leave it and use some tweaking software to make XP automatically logon and skip the logon screen?

    Thanks

    The easiest thing to do, is the following.

    Once you logon into the desktop.

    Click START, then RUN, then type in: control userpasswords2 (press enter).

    Highlight the user that normally logs in (this shouldn't be the administrator account, unless ye picked local (as your name), when you first installed XP).

    Next, uncheck "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer".

    Press OK.

    A popup will display the username. If there is no password, simply press OK.

    Now, reboot, the computer should autologin. :)
