Nope, once the ASP.NET account, or any account is added, you have to use TweakUI or another method to restore autologon. It won't happen automatically.

You can also click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 In the list of users, select the account you want logged on automatically. Then uncheck Users must enter a username and password............ Click Apply. In the next dialog, enter the password for the account you selected, if any.
