    You don't add photos. You install it all, restart and then it will put a box round your face, and ask you to ogin. It learns as well :)

    Enjoy.

    thanks everyone, it actually seems like a really neat little feature to me. seems to be working fine, except when i put it on full security, it does swap user accounts between me and my g/f like it says, but im a bit taller than her, so she has to move the laptop everytime she uses it otherwise her face isnt always in the right place and it logs her off!!, but i wont use that one, just auto lg in is good enough for me, i do like it.

    yup. i even found an RS link for lenovo's version, so i'm figuring that means it'll work on any machine, not just lenovos (contrary to AW's CC ;)).
