    So, in Vista if I leave it lying around and the screen goes blank, I ask it to ask me for the password again. But, if I move the mouse cursor to get the screen back, it shows my User Icon and then the Fingerprint Icon, so I have to click on the username and then enter the password. Is it possible it get it so it will always jump to my username? One option is to disable the fingerprint login, but I sorta want to keep that, so is there an alternate solution?

    Thanks,
    - Eli

    Why not just use the fingerprint reader to Log-in? a lot easier that way..

    but if you really wanna shut it off... click on the fingerprint software icon on the taskbar, and then click on system settings and then click on standard windows logon.. done

    I want to keep the fingerprint log-in, but I want the welcome screen to focus on my account, so I can type my password right away without having to click on it.
