On my XP Pro PC I use PowerToys TweakUI and I have enabled 'Log on
automatically at system startup'. Occasionally when I reboot I still
get the logon screen. And the TweakUI setting has become unchecked.
Anyone have any idea why that might happen please? Never happened in
5/6 years with my last (XP Home) PC.

Installing SP3 or some service packs can do this.

Yes, I had the same problem. In TweakUI, go in to Logon-Autologon, tick the
box, then Set Password, leave the spaces blank then OK twice. Well, it's
worked for me (but having just opened TUI to check...!).
