When running a web application in an Application Pool with Integrated Mode in IIS 7.5 on Windows 7, what user account is ASP.NET running under?

Thanx in advance!

Whatever account is associated with the Application Pool.

Open the IIS manager, select the application pool and select "Advanced Settings". Under Process Model there is an Identity setting: this is the user.

IIS7.5 adds an inbuilt account "Application Identity" which is a per-application pool user dynamically created to run IIS applications (as Win7/2008R2 add per service users) to allow finer grained access control and additional process isolation.
