On my Thinkpad, I installed IBM's Hardware security software. Works fine and all, but when I go to select users to use for its logon feature, I see several weird accounts:

ASP.NET Machine Account
HelpAssistant
SQLDebugger
SUPPORT_(really long number here)

I run XP Professional.

I usually disable some of those extra accounts.

Nothing to worry about, that's crap accounts that comes with some MS applications and stuff just disable them and you will do fine.

Ah..well that's good. I first thought something like that, but wanted to check with yall first.

If memory serves, the support one is the account Remote Desktop uses. That one is perfectly fine to disable. Same with the Guest account. Just be sure and rename "Admin" or "Administrator" to something else to keep the script kiddies at bay.
