    Just looking for some information on the Microsoft Fingerprint reader. I was wondering if it or any additional software will give me the capability of creating folders on my computer and securing them using hte reader so only I will have access. It would also be nice if I could create a section of my hard drive to only be accessible with my fingerprint.

    I have looked around online and cnat seem to find much information on the item so any help would be nice.

    im not sure but since it uses a passwor like authorizing you could probably get away with puting your own files on a specific login name and leaving the rest of the laptop with generic data open (keep in mind windows security IS a joke) or password protect folders would probably work
