MS .NET is there anyway to not use a logon screen

I use a single logon Windows XP Pro setup and whenever I add the .net framework I am always forced to the welcome logon screen where it waits until I select my account. There is only one user account on the system, but because .net, I guess, acts in someways like an account it does this.

My question is is there anyway I can have .net and not have to go through this?

I am setting up a HTPC and I would rather not have to through this with that setup. Two of the frontends I am looking at require .net 2.0.

Thanks,
Mark

I cannot believe I didn't think of that.
I have had TweakUI installed all along, but forgot about that
function.

Thanks for making my brain a little less fried.

There's no need to use TweakUI for this. Just go to the User Accounts control panel and delete the one .NET added in there. I haven't found a use for it as of yet. You could probably just disable it too.

as dimzon said, the account is a limited privilege account for asp.net. Unless you're using that, the account is useless, but if you're using it, it shows that MS is at least waking up to security.

If I delete the account it won't bother the apllications that require .net to run?

Thanks,
Mark

They sohould unless you are running a webserver which serves asp.net pages. And you don't need to delete it. The log on screen won't appear if you disable/prevent login/something the account. I'm not confident whether this requires xp professional, though.

A "correct" way to solve this, in case you ever need a new account but don't want it showing up and causing logon hassles (say, to allow someone else in your home to access your files, which is disabled for anonymous users in SP2):
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"ASPNET"=dword:00000000
which sets the account to ignored. There's also the special value dword:00010000 which means "anything starting with this should be ignored".

The weird part is it's already supposed to do this on install.
