Hi,

Thanks for posting to the newsgroup.

When you install ASP.NET, a user account is created, called "ASPNET". This
is the account that ASP.NET runs under. (The executable name is
ASPNET_WP.EXE.)

Hope this helps,
bliz

When you hit a web site and instance of ASPNET_WP.EXE (The ASP.NET worker
process) i screated and has access to the system using that user name. It is
what enables CAS (Code Access Security) for the web applications.
 
Hi,

You could use impersonation. Take a look at

(Watch out for line breaks in the URL)

Hope this helps!
