Cannot disable auto-logon feature in Windows XP Pro

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have installed XP as an upgrade from W2K to my wife's computer, and
I recall that in the W2K installation the auto-logon feature was
enabled.

Now I am trying to disable this feature, so far without success. I
have even used TweakUI and still the auto-login feature runs every
time I reboot. I looked under the Group Policy editor, following my
Administrator's Pocket Consultant for clues, and there is no effect.

AAARRRGGGHH!!!! Could somebody please suggest something?

Thanks. Ironically, it was already checked. But it seemed to work when
I un-checked it, then checked it again.
