deleted aspnet account by accidnet on XP

[David]

Can somebody show me how to restore the account step by step using windows
XP (I get easily frustrated with XP)? I know it is an account named
"aspnet_wp account", but recreating with the same name does not do the
trick. I suspect there's more to do with IIS, etc.

When I attempt to open an aspnet application, I get a big fat error message
that looks like this.

David,

There is a program called "aspnet_regiis.exe" that resides in
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705 (mind the version number if you
use .NET Framework 1.1).

Try running this utility - it fixes ASP .NET registration in IIS. I had my
IIS metabase completely corrupted once, and after re-installing IIS this
utility successfully re-installed all required ASP .NET stuff.
