asp.net user

[kimmie]

I have asp.net listed as a user on my computer, but I
didn't put it there and am wondering how it would have
gotten on there. I am the most computer literate in the
family, so I know that no one in this house put it there.

It gets put there when you install .NET.
By default ASP.NET pages run under this user account, and only have the
privelages that this user account is granted.
