OK, I have two PCs, one has been running XP since I bought it. I have
TweakUI and for some time have had Autologon enabled as you describe.

I have just upgraded my second PC to XP and TweakUI, both installed from
exactly the same source as the first PC and I have set Autologon just the
same.

I shut down and the next time I start up, the Autologon works fine but then
the tick is removed from the box so it does not work on the next startup. I
have to re-tick the Autologon option each time I start up which completely
defeats the object.

By the way, the user-ID I use to set the Autologon feature is defined as an
administrator and it is that same user-ID which is defined for Autologon ...
and that's the same on both PCs.

How can I stop that tick from disappearing?
