No autologon in WinXP SP2

Seems like I lost the option of autologon using TweakUI for XP since I installed SP2. Is
there any work around for this?
 
1. At a command prompt, type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter to open the Windows 2000-style User Accounts
application.
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then
click OK.
3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name and password for the account you want to be
logged on each time you start your computer.
 
IIRC Service Pack 2 DISABLES autologin. Sorry gregmtbr, the option you're looking for doesn't exist in SP2.

Err, I don't believe this is true as my home control machine (which sadly requires this) continues to autologin fine with SP2.
 
Thanks Gregmtbr, I followed your instructions and it worked fine. My version of XP is Pro but I guess it
will work with Home as well.
