Hi
I noticed something weird about my SO's computer today. It said someone else was logged on, did I care to still shutdown?

I've only created ONE account on this computer.

So, I started up, and, found a Passport.net limited guest account, that was logged on. What the heck is this? Does it create a security risk?

Thanks
GS

I don't know what that is. My system certainly doesn't have one. I would login as administrator, disable the account, and see if it affects anything.

SO the user probably created a passport.net account. Did you ask - how mysterious is that?

I think I ran into this once when I installed the zune software on a machine. It insisted on creating a passport account that logged itself in.
Just an idea.
