    Default New Windows 7 User created

    I just did a fresh installation of HEM on a brand new clean machine running windows 7.

    I used the combo installer for HEM that includes a postgresql install.

    after the installation, i have a new windows 7 standard user (password protected) on my machine. the user is named postgres

    why did this happen? it hasnt happened in the past, and i dont want this user, as it is an annoyance to log in to windows now.

    can i just delete this user and continue to use HEM ? or do i need to leave it there?

    This user is created by the Postgresql installation and its definitely needed for the database to run. The only thing in older installations is that this user was hidden from the login screen.
    You can hide it manually. Please check this:
