You re-wrote the win2ksp4-updates.bat and/or winxpsp1-updates.bat scripts?!? 
Were the scripts included with unattended deficient in some way?

> the dotnetfx.exe update ran with this command

winxpsp1-updates.bat contains the following command for the dotnet update

todo.pl ".reboot-on 194 %Z%\updates\common\%WINLANG%\dotnetfx.exe /q /c:\"install /q\""

> silently installs fine but 1 thing is does is create a asp user account.

Yes, the dotnetfx.exe creates the ASP.net user account. Yes I regularly delete this 
account from my
personal machines. I have seen no I'll effects from deleting this user account, but I 
also am not
yet using DotNet applications that would require the ASP.net user account.

I am at least slightly confused. What does having 2 accounts have to do with auto 
logon? Are you by
chance using WinXP Home and utilizing the fact that XP Home chooses not to show the 
welcome screen
if only one user exists? This mis-feature should not be confused with auto logon. Auto 
logon is
defined by 4 registry keys, 
HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Winlogon\ 
AutoAdminLogon=1
DefaultUserName=Foo
DefaultPassword=Bar
DefaultDomain=FooBar

If AutoAdminLogon does not = 1 then the reset of the keys are ignored. If it does = 1 
then the other
3 keys are used to determine the username/password and domain (if any) to use when 
attempting to
auto logon.

> My question is can i stop it from creating that account 

I don't think you can keep it from creating the account. Its going to be created if 
dotnet is
installed.

> and if i can't

The account can definitely be deleted, as far as deleting it without breaking *ANY* 
dotnet
application, I don't know. I would imagine that someday deleting that user would be 
looked upon as a
mistake.

I think the source of the evil is that you are relying on a misfeature instead of 
allowing
unattended to use the true AutoLogon settings in the registry. Is this related to the 
"Allow
administrator password to be blank" thread from a few days ago? If so I'd recommend 
you set the
administrator password to a known value, "password" for example, and then change it to 
/blank/ as a
last step in unattended.
