XP confuses user settings on logon

I played with some XP settings a while ago, and since then I can't get
Windows to logon as me. It starts up fine, but the settings aren't right
for my ID, and I have to log off and log back on again to get to the correct
settings.

Any ideas? I have disabled auto-logon, but it automatically logons with the
wrong settings anyway.

Try the settings in :Start>Run>CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
This run command opens a tool which controls the logon
&passwords etc.
 
Make sure you logging on as the same person. If you log on as someone else
each time the setting are going to be different for each user.
 
Thanks, Painter, but I've looked at that. It shows Administrator, Gary
Townshend, and Guest. It doesn't show any "extra" accounts. And as I have
mentioned in this thread, I can't get auto logon to cease and desist. If I
could go back to logging on as me each time, I expect I'd reduce the
problem.

I wish I had the control to log on as me each time, but XP is doing
an auto logon to the other user, also shown as "Gary Townshend", even
though I've shut that feature off!

Just a thought, as this happened to me.

If you have a copy of Tweak UI installed..open it and go to logon and if
log on at system restart is checked. If so, uncheck it and see what
happens. Took care of the exact problem for me....
