Author Problem deleting "junk" anonymous records from the UserObject table

If you've based your solution on the Retail Solution Site
which came out with Commerce Server 2000 then I think
under "App Settings" there is an option called "Profile
Anonymous Users". If this option is set then the
anonymous user profiles are created in the UserObject
Table. If this setting is '0' then these records\are not
created but the site still works fine.

You could have a look at the retail code and see how it
is handled there.
