Could be update agent like with the old XP ASP user account (DELETE!) that would bring back the vanquished log-on screen. | My System Specs | | |

These accounts are a left over from another OS and will appear on the permissions for folders (and files) unless they are explicitly removed from the Folders and files
If you trace the root folder for these accounts and remove all permissions from the user they will be removed and due to permission cascading will disappear from the whole tree they are on.
Another way to handle this on a data drives is to set the permissions on the root of the drives as you wish and then use the advanced permissions dialogue to force all folders under the root to use the same permissions
There is a check box for this very purpose | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Real World Computing (Me + a little help from Acer) OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 + x86 + Windows 8 x64 CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1035T 2.6 GHz Motherboard Aspire M3400 Memory 4Gb PC10600 DDR3 1333 MHz Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 315 512MB Sound Card OnBoard - Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Philips 32" HDTV, (HDMI) + 26" TV (VGA) Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 @60Hz + 1360 x 768 @60Hz Keyboard Microsoft Wireless 800 or Stock Acer, (depends where I sit) Mouse Microsoft Wireless 800 or Stock Acer, (depends where I sit) PSU Stock (400W) Case Acer M3400 Cooling Stock Hard Drives 500 GB Seagate ST3500418AS SATA II
