Macbook making me log in every time I boot

[wutah]

So I have been over so many settings in system preferences its making my head spin. Every time I boot my macbook that is running snow leopard it makes me log in. This is a very recent thing and I honestly didn't do anything to make it happen. When the problem first started happening it would also have the spinning thing on the bottom of the screen for about 5 seconds at the blue screen when shutting down.
It doesn't do that as of lately though. If anyone knows how to stop it from making me log in every time I boot let me know. I will be checking back so if anyone wants to use ichat to log onto my computer to check settings let me know.

System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Options -> "Automatic Login: Enabled"

Yep I have had that setting like that and it still makes me log in

System Preferences > Security > General

"Disable automatic login"

That one was good but once again that was already like that and the problem persists

What about repairing permissions via Disk utility?

Hmm nice, Im trying it now. It goes kinda slow but I understand it has to go through the whole hd. Ill let you know after It goes and I reboot.

not sure what this means

It means nothing bad if that's what you're thinking.

Make sure the security preferences look like this :

haha Peace you are awesome! I feel like a dummy because I thought if it were checked it meant it wasn't going to log me in. The power of pictures helps!

Thanks again to everyone that helped, I was just a bit of an idiot.
