Were you logged into the account that you wanted to use? Do you have a
default account set or do you have multiple accounts? What sort of error are
you getting?

Yea i was logged in the account i wanted....well i went to control panel/user
accounts and it says Jay thats the one i use and has ASP.NET Machine A....'
and guest......and when i start the computer it goes straight to this
error(Logon Message/ Unable to log you on because of an account restriction.
This all started when i went run/msconfig and changed the application on
startup
and now i cant get it back. I tried to system restore but for some reason
there were no save points.

Try the autologin feature with TweakUI next I suppose though I'm beginning
to suspect there's an underlying problem that we haven't yet discovered. I
don't see why you'd be getting an error about account restrictions for
simply disabling the login unless perhaps you've set something with another
application or GPEDIT (XP Pro only) which MIGHT over-ride this setting. Have
you done any such editing like that? For example a selection that said force
users to use username and password in a tweak utility might have over-ridden
these settings.
