Fingerprint Windows log-on. How do you do it?

I searched the forum for an answer, but nothing good came up. So, I will ask you guys: how can I activate the fingerprint log-on to Windows?

I can manage to get it to show up every time I start the computer, but right next to the "Fingerprint Log-on" I have the "Password Log-on" and the "User Log-on".

How can I make the last two disappear and leave just the "Fingerprint Log-on"?

I just want to swipe the finger before desktop shows, every time I start Vista.

Anyone?

 

To the best of my knowledge, you can't make the other two options go away.

But I am able to simply swipe my fingerprint and log on without having to click anything. Been able to do this ever since I installed it, about a month ago.

 

I can do that too, but I don't have a password on my Admin account and anyone can by-pass the fingerprint log-on because of that. They just need to click on the normal log-on picture and that's it.

 

You can always add a password to the account. I have one on my account for extra protection, but for the most part I just swipe-and-go to log in.

 

When I did a clean install I had the 3 also. Just clicked on the fingerprint reader ( had used the advanced section of FingerPrint software app to custom install my login ) and now only show the print reader when logging on.

I Can click it if needed to give the option to manually log in if I wanted to.

 

Care to do a step-by-step "how to"?

 

I figured it out:

Go in Fingerprint Software Control Center/Settings/Logon. Select Fingerprint Logon, un-check "Allow to bypass logon using Windows password" and "Allow user selfenroll in logon" if you don't use the user account.
After that click on Details. There you will see 2 or 3 rows:

1. Upek Fingerprint Provider - all should be ON
2. Windows Password Logon
3. Microsoft Smartcard Provider

Double click on nr. 2. Right after the title in the upper field you will see something like {xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx}, where x is numbers and letters. Copy that to clipboard using a text program, because you can't copy it directly, you have to enter it manually. Be sure to copy it just the way it is. Then go to Start/Run and type Regedit. After you enter the Regedit program press Ctrl+F and Paste the {xxxx...} thing. It will find that {xxxx...}. When it does, just delete it. Hit F3. It will find another one. Delete that too. Keep the F3 operation until it finds no more {xxxx...}.

Restart and there you go.

I was a little afraid to try that and I made a back-up of the registry just in case. I found out it works ok and I didn't need the back-up. Now I only have the "Swipe Your Finger" option every time I start Windows.

Get back with news.

On Security tab select Custom Mode or whatever you wish.

 

You gotta go thru all that in vista? Good Lord!!!

So much easier in XP.

 

That's what I did and it works. It's not that hard anyway. It looks bad on paper/forum.
