Title: Microsoft .Net Question
Post by: acevedor2 on February 09, 2007, 07:26:14 pm: I just finished building the new PC and downloading all of the updates. Normally I pay attention and selectively install the updates. This time, however, I just selected all and installed. The problem is that it installed the .Net framework. With the .Net framework, it installes a .Net user and because of that whenever the computer is restarted, it brings you back to the welcome screen.

Should I just uninstall the .Net framework, or should I remove the .Net user? If I remove the .Net user without uninstalling the .Net framework will I run into any problems?

Thanks!

The way XP works is that if you have 2 user accounts you will always get the "choose user" screen when you reboot he computer. That is a problem for a cab because you don' want to have o click your user to get you into windows and mame.

I am trying to find the best way to fix this issue. I think ultimately I will just end up uninstalling the .Net framework. Any other options anyone can thin of.
