Hi guys fixing up my old computer for my mum and found that there was a weird account setup here. It comes up as an Administrator Account but i've got no idea where it came from???????
Should i delete this account or what are my options.

Anyone seen this or know what to do about it.
Your help would be appreciated
Cheers Adam

That's a normal machine account and you should leave it. It was installed by an update.

OK. A lot of people wonder about that account. Basically, it is installed with .NET 1.1 to get around some permissions issues for apps that run under that protocol. Harmless.
