Not sure if this is what you want but the link below shows two methods of auto logon.

To get the autologin working, you must set the following parameter in your "WINNT.SIF" file:

AutoLogonCount="1"

You must set a number of how many autologins you'd like to perform.

It shouldn't be set if wanting auto-logon always

I couldn't really tell exactly from the OPs post if that's what he wanted or not...

That`s my section of "winnt.sif" - look at the spaces:

[GuiUnattended]
EncryptedAdminPassword="No"
AutoLogon="Yes"
AdminPassword="*******"
TimeZone=110
OEMSkipRegional=1
OemSkipWelcome=1

OK, AutoLogon="Yes" in the WINNT.SIF or SYSPREP.INF are only intended to complete any build processing. To enable autologon once the build is complete you need to set some reg keys under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. MSKB 315231 gives you the details, but essentially you need to set these values:

• AutoAdminLogon=1
  
• DefaultUserName=<user account name>
  
• DefaultPassword=<account password>
  
• DefaultDomain=<domain or computername if in a workgroup>
  

But remember, if for some reason the user logs out and logs in with another username the DefaultUserName will change dynamically as it's intended to do, not to mention the password is sitting in your registry in cleartext. TweakUI can obfuscate this, but for those that know how, it's not difficult to obtain the password. Hence the reason autologins are not recommended on any OS.
