• Turn Off Ctrl Alt Del

In windows you can disable the usage of ctrl+alt+delete before logging in.
{Via netplwiz or user controlpasswords2 then advanced will give you a window with at the bottom of it this option}.
Is there any possibility that this is able to be done using cmd or powershell?
I have been looking for a solution for about 3 weeks without any success.

Method 3: Via User Accounts Advanced Settings. Click on Start button, and type netplwiz into Start Search box, and hit Enter to open the User Accounts dialog box. Go to Advanced tab. Under “Secure logon” section, select and check the checkbox for Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete option. Click Apply or OK.

Turn Off Ctrl Alt Del

From TechNet: You need to change the registry value

HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonDisableCAD

• 0 means Users must press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on to the system. or
• 1 means Users need not press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on to the system.

Registry values can be set by reg.exe (via cmd.exe) or with built-in mechanisms in PowerShell (Set-Location, Set-ItemProperty).
