Getting rid of Ctrl-Alt-Del to log on

A friend of mine has recently changed jobs. Her laptop had been "messed about with" by the IT geek at the old job (he'd locked and passworded everything so she could only access the "company" website and MS software). He's removed most of those locks, apart from a couple which I'll be tackling in a week or two. She's resigned to the possibility of a "wipe and reinstall" - the restore software is on the hidden partition.

However, whenever the machine boots up, she has to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and go through a login routine - presumably something of Bill's. Since only she uses the laptop, she wants to get rid of that. It's not a "feature" I know - does anyone know how to turn it off?

It's XP - not sure if "Pro" or "Home".
