Here is how I logon automatically: Type netplwiz in Run / choose the Account that you want to use / uncheck the box in front of "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" / Apply. Then, it will ask for a Password and Confirmation. Once you do this reboot and it should logon automatically.
I have used this for years with all OS's.
