This morning when I booted my computer displayed the message, "To begin
Click your user name." I had never seen this message before and my computer
always booted to the Desktop. I don't understand why, all of a sudden, I
have to click a User Name.

When I checked the Control Panel | User Name I found that a new User Account
had been added to my system. I didn't add this. The User Account Name is
ASP.NET MACHINE A.... I checked the asp.net site and found, "Microsoft
ASP.NET is a free technology that allows programmers to create dynamic web
applications."

Since I am not a programmer and do not want to create dynamic web
applications I am at a loss to understand how this account got there.

The only changes made to my system was the installation of a new printer -
HP C5180.

1. Could the new User Account have been added by this installation process?
2. May I safely delete the account.
3. If I delete this account will my system go back to booting up to the
Desktop?

1. yes, it was added when you installed something, probably Office?
maybe a web page editor?
2. No.... if you do, something will come down from the heavens and
make your computer do weird things...then you'll have to go out and
buy a new box with linux on it...
3. Not sure..

I had this thing called TweakUI (tweak user interface) and one of the
tools in it was AutoLogger, it would automatically log you in
everytime the PC boots....
