I'm not sure to understand what you are trying to achieve.
When Tails starts it goes through a set of configuration screens called
Tails Greeter, see
http://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/startup_options/#index2h1.
At first sight, setting autologin bypasses Tails Greeter. I think that's
a pretty bad idea as I'm not pretty sure you will end up with a broken
system. Because Tails Greeter does actually more than collecting
configuration information and manipulates the root password, network
devices, etc.
All of this is not really documented on the website, as users are not
supposed to play with that. If you want to understand better what it
does you should have a look at the code:
http://git.tails.boum.org/greeter
In order to have the Windows camouflage enabled by default, I think the
way forward would be to create a new persistence feature to remember
that setting.
