The Microsoft.NET Framework is a relatively recent component of the Windows
operating system. It provides a new programming model that makes it easy
for developers to rapidly create powerful new software, and allows
developers to mix and match programming languages. For example, RSS
Readers require that you have the Microsoft.Net Framework installed on
your computer. It may be installed in a Windows computer in one of three
ways:
It may have been already installed with the version of Windows
that came with your new computer when you purchased it.
It has probably been installed if you have your computer system
properties set to automatically download and install Windows updates.
You may have manually installed the Windows update known as
"Microsoft.NET Framework version 1.1".
When Microsoft.NET Framework is installed, it creates a user account on
your computer named ASP.NET Machine A and it is a Password Protected user
account with Limited Privileges. That account is used by applications
(enabled by Microsoft.NET Framework) to run in a lower and therefore a
more secure context then running under your account (which may be an
administrator or some other highly privileged account). Removal or
modification of this account may break any Microsoft.NET Framework
applications … of which there are already a few out there and
significantly more are on their way. SO DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR
RENAME THE ASP.NET Machine A AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND OR CHANGE ITS
PASSWORD.
Once that ASP.NET Machine A user account is on your machine, it may result
in your having to furnish your own user account name and/or password every
time the computer is re-booted … and that can quite annoying if you have
never had to do that before the ASP.NET Machine A user account was
created. To correct that annoying situation:
Your user account must have Administrator privileges (or else
you may have to get help from a user that does have such privileges).
Click on Start and then click on Run. Type in "Control
Userpasswords2" (without the " " marks) and then click on "OK".
Uncheck the box labeled "Users must enter a user name and
password to use this computer". Then press "Apply".
You will then be prompted to furnish your user name and password.
If you don't have a password, just leave those inputs blank.
Then click on "OK".
If you have done everything correctly, you will no longer have to furnish
your user account name and/or password every time your computer is
re-booted.
