Thanks for the quick reply.
I checked out my config and took note that under docs and settings there was
my machine name and under that was ASPNET. Was that created when I
'installed' vs and regiis, etc?
In the article you referenced, in the statement:
"7. Click the General tab. In the name field, enter the name of the ASP.NET
user.
By default, this is a local account with the name ASPNET."
Do they mean that <machinename>\ASPNET under my docs and settings?
My machine name is one of the users under docs and settings.
I am just not understanding these relationships. If my install of IIS and
VS created this, then I understand. But, then there was stuff for (when I
created) my VS projects located under docs and settings also, plus under my
documents, Visual Studio Projects.
I will continue to read the learning areas, but maybe you can brief me?
I am starting from scratch (with some experience in VB6 and SQL) and want to
know what MS does with folders for both windows and aspnet projects.

I created a walkthrough and couldn't connect to my sql server. I looked up
the problem and MSDN told me to create an ASPNET "User" in SQL Svr.
It worked, but is that right? Do I have to do that for web projects. How
does that user relate to the other users? I'm not seeing the logic. I
thought maybe a "Role" that I could assign all users to would make more
sense, but why have an ASPNET in SQL at all?
