How to disable (not delete) the "Asp.net" user account
Greetings! It's unlikely that I'll ever need the asp.net account, but it's possible. For security reasons, I'd like to disable the account, but retaining all the user-specific security keys. I don't see a "disable" switch for this user, but do with the
"Guest" user. If there's no "easy" way to disable the "asp.net" user, perhaps there's a registry value the can be tweaked in order to disable the account(?) Any help is appreciated, Cheers!
The Asp.net account is a system account that is used by programs that reply on .NET Framework. The Account does not allow remote or even interactive login,
therefore the account cannot be used by anyone. If you want to disable the account see the following steps.
·Right-Click
My Computer and select manage
·Expand
Local Users and Groups
·Select
Users
·On the right pane right-click
ASPNET and select Properties
·Place a
checkmark by Account is disabled and hit Apply and OK.
NOTE:
Prior to disabling the account I would advise you to create a System Restore point just in case. Also, keep an eye on your system if you do disable the account
just to make sure everything is running as it should.
