Hi



Please can someone explain to me, in an easy to understand way...



What is IUSR_NMPR



Yesterday I was trying to move a picture from my user account, into

my sons user account.



With XP this was something I found easy :o)

But with Vista... I couldn't work it out :o(

In the end, I decided to get it to his side by using - Share

After about half an hour of debating - Should I use the public folder or the

Share button.... I used the Share Button.



That's when I got a shock!



I clicked on the drop down list to pick a user to share with.

But instead of seeing just mine and my sons name. It said...



My Name

IUSR_NMPR

My Sons Name



It really scared me!



I have googled IUSR_NMPR

But the only bits of information I have found about IUSR_NMPR...

Have so far been confusing

Conflicting views (e.g. One says one thing - One says another)

Not Definite! (I need to know for sure what IUSR_NMPR is)



So can someone plaease tell me....



What is IUSR_NMPR ?

And.... Is it normal to have it on a Vista Computer?



Thank You!

I don't have it on mine, but at

the following information was given:

I did some research on what you are seeing.



The user "IUSR_NMPR" seems to be associated with a process entitled

mediaserver.exe that uses this account when it is running. This has

something to do with Media Center or possibly the "Intel Viiv" software and

is used to download media content from the internet. This looks legitimate

and this is all I could find.

Hi PNutts!



Thank's for your help!



I do have Intell Viiv on my PC (Whatever Intell Viiv is :o) ?)



But the thing I find strange is....



If having IUSR_NMPR is something normal on some Vista Computers... Then why

is there no proper documentation / information to be found about it.



I was really scared when I found it sitting between mine and my sons name.

I got even more scared when I realised, I could find No Definite Proof of

what it is

:o(



Anyway... Thank's PNutts
