Getting rid of the "Press C-A-D" screen via registry?

I create the master images for the PC's at my place of business. We're
dealing with Win XP Pro on a domain. The previous tech had the
workstations such that when they booted up, it would go straight to
the logon screen (basically bypassing the need to press C-A-D). If you
lock these workstations while in use, it's the same thing...they lock,
but you dont need to hit C-A-D on the lock screen; theyre already
waiting on the user/pass screen.

I know this is a quicky registry hack to do this. Can someone point me
in the right direction whick key it's in?

TIA
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Double click on DisableCAD (create of type REG_DWORD if it does not exist)

Set to 1 if you don't want to have to press Ctrl-Alt-Del, and set to 0 if
you do. Click OK

Close the registry editor

Reboot the machine
