    The .net  user account is created when net 1.0 or 1.1 is installed on a machine..  (this is true of both XP and Vista)
     
    If you have only one account on your machine and are noticing now you have a login screen show up on start instead of the usual login to windows directly this is the source of that behaviour.
     
    You do not need or require that account and can delete is safely.
     
    Here is more info on it from MS MVP
     
     
    Cheers
