Windows User Accounts

Hi, I was wondering, since i freshly installed Median Center 2004 or 2005,
i've made my account, and i wanted to chance some of the settings, but when i
went to the User Accounts, i sasw this strange account names "ASP.NET Machine
A". What is this account? Is this account created by the operating system?

It's a limited account in place to add some protection for you. Basically
you don't need to worry about it and you're pretty much on-track already.
For a bunch of additional information you can see the link that follows.
