How can I permanently rid my computer of the ''Log on to Windows'' screen?

[powerMarkymark]

I've tried disabling it in Tweak UI but it keeps toggling itself back to default.

TIA

Are you talkin about the welcome screen were you click on the account icon to logon at start-up?

You can0 run 'gpedit.msc'
Then go to Computer Configuraton > Administrative Templates > System > Logon and set the option "Always use classic logon" to enabled.
You need to be loged into Administrator or an Administrator account but this should make the change permanent.

If you're trying to get it to log on automatically, fire up regedit and add (or change) these keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon:
(key -> value)
DefaultUsername -> your username
DefaultPassword -> your password
AutoAdminLogon -> 1

Note that all of these keys should be Strings (if you need to create them). Also keep in mind that this puts your password, in plaintext, in your registry. Consider yourself warned, but I have never had an issue using autologon.
