How to remove ctrl-alt-del during startup in XP?

Without removing the hard drive from the laptop to backup whatever my client has on his pc, I was able to go through the Administrator account and disable the dialogue box that's coming every time the pc restart: Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to log on! (I'm planning to reload the OS after I backed up all the files, but no need).
1. I went to safe mode by pressing F8 and without any minute, the dialogue box came out again. Whatever username there is, remove that and change it to "Administrator", if you know the password of that account, type that in, but on this case I'm working with, I don't know. So I didn't put anything on the password. Click OK, then I was able to enter the desktop screen.
2. From there, go to Control Panel, User Account. Go to Advanced tab then remove the tick for Require users to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Click Apply then Ok.
3. If you want to remove the password for every user account, do so, remove the password, or change the password and write it down.
4. Restart the computer. You shouldn't see the dialogue box again.
5. There is another way in removing this box, but you have to go to the registry to disable it.

To end: count then share blessings like Web traffic exchange to others
