140852 2003-05-02 13:16:00 Query, Looking in the user groups on XP Pro I find there's a new user "ASP.NET",I guess it comes from a windows auto update, what should I do with it? is it safe to delete or does it pose some danger?
Cheers Krafty

140853 2003-05-02 14:07:00 i think it is to do with IIS (Internet info services or server)
it is to do with server side programming

if you are running a html server off you computer it will stop it
i'm unsure what it will do otherwise

i'd leave it
if you have a fire wall it will serve no threat

To confirm this go into the Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools (under Classic View) - if Internet Information Services is there, then you most likely have IIS installed
You can either leave it alone, or you can just uninstall it - go back into Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, switch to Add/Remove Windows Components and then take the Tick out of Internet Information Services (IIS) - click OK and IIS will be uninstalled
