Ok... I've seen all of the posts on how to set up Auto Logon with NT. I need to find out how to remove it. I can guess, but would prefer not to when messing with the registry. If I just remove the password from within the quotes, what happens with the user id that is supplied? Would you still have to do the shift thingy when rebooting to over-ride? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, if you don't want to edit the registry directly, you can try the policy editor. Personally, I find the registry easier; but I'm in it alot. For safety, you can export a key to a file before changing it. Then, if you need to put it back, just double-click the file you made; and it will restore that key setting.
The auto login should be at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
Make AutoAdminLogon=0
That should do it for you.

You can go here and download TweakUI
That has an option for turning on or off the auto log in. It also has some other nice things it can do!! Jay~
