FOUND IT!!!!!
I had a program on there, running a s a service, that insisted on
running as a user and not localsystem. In playing around with it, I
used my credentials for the program to run in. I guess that program
logging on as ME was interfering with the account I used for
autologon.
Go figure..
Thanks to all that replied.
