Yep, have done that.. I have checked the keys manually, and used a
tool from Sysinternals to set them as well.

Win2k server doesnt have a control panel applet to set the autologon.
Sysinternals has a utility that works similar to the other autologon
utilities, but actually encrypts the password, where most don't.

I'm pulling my hair out over this..

Registry looks good.
Have used sysinternals and a few other tools to unset and set the
autologon.
I have verified the Gina.dll registry entries remove ok, and all that.
It's supposed to be working, but it's not.
