Just need a quick yes or no, i made my winnt.sif so it auto-logged into the admin account ONCE after installation to allow the user to set a password but i've realised that all my registry tweaks will be applied to the admin account so now i have to prevent it doing that... rather than create an entire new winnt.sif and lose all the things i've changed in it do i simply change the below:

[GuiUnattended]

AdminPassword=*

EncryptedAdminPassword=NO

AutoLogon=Yes

AutoLogonCount=1

OEMSkipRegional=1

TimeZone=85

OemSkipWelcome=1

To:

[GuiUnattended]

AdminPassword=*

EncryptedAdminPassword=NO

AutoLogon=No

AutoLogonCount=0

OEMSkipRegional=1

TimeZone=85

OemSkipWelcome=1

Will this still auto-logon the account i'll create after the main installation is complete?

No: Simple because

AutoLogon=No

AutoLogonCount=0

Should be

AutoLogon=Yes

AutoLogonCount=1

You can either use UnattendSwitch="no" in [unattended] so you can create a user manually and run your batch logged in as that user or, use webmedic's guides on creating a user using cmdlines.txt

I think i may have been misunderstood but changing those values did acheive what i wanted. Thanks for the replies nonetheless.
