Fingerprint Login appears on Vista/7 machines without FPR readers

ssij

Kind of an annoyance, but I'm running a Windows 7 laptop without a FPR in a domain that has FPR authentication enabled.  Every time I come back from sleep or try to unlock the machine, the default credential provider is the FPR, so I have to manually switch to user name/password authentication.

A added corollary to this is that coming back from hibernation, SSO does not work.  Is there a way of disabling the FPR credential provider on machines that don't have fingerprint readers?

I haven't gotten any complaints from a majority of my users because they are running XP, and this doesn't seem to be a problem on that OS, but I have gotten a complaint or two from Vista users in my environment, as well as experiencing this on 7 myself.

    Pedro,

    I tried what that KBA suggested, and ran into a major problem.  Two of the credential providers would error out every time I tried to rename them, saying:

    The Registry Editor cannot rename {GUID].  Error while renaming key.

    I renamed all of the other credential providers that Regedit would allow me to (obviously, I left the UtimacoCredentialProvider as is), but the FPR choice is still appears during logon and still is the default after the machine is locked.
