How to set a Windows XP or 2000 machine to Auto-Login, or NOT to Auto-Login

If you have a Windows XP Professional machine and you want to set it to automatically logon a user, use the Tweak UI Power Toy.

If you have a Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 machine and you want to set it to STOP automatically logging in a user, clear the saved User ID and Password that is stored in the registry.  See Q234562 for details.
