Change fingerprint login icon/picture - Windows 7

Hello all-
I've got a fairly new T440s for which I've set up fingerpringt reading. I was wondering if there'd be an (easy) way to change the picture displayed on the welcome/login screen. I'm not talking about the background, but the icon in the middle that is currently a picture of a fingerprint. 
I looked around at other threads and they either referred to editing .dll files (above my head a bit) or some picture in "C:\Program Files\ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software" which is not a directory on my machine. I'm running the latest version of Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro, and nothing in the Fingerprint Manager Pro program files looked persipacious.
Any tips would be appreciated. Many thanks!
Solved!

It's not possible on T440s.  The other threads you read were about the fingerprint software for older systems (T430s and earlier) which was different.  On T440s, it's just using the Windows built-in fingerprint credential provider.  If you were to hack the built-in OS files, it would invalidate the signature of the file and the fingerprint option probably wouldn't load at that point.  So in summary - that graphic is simply not designed to be changed, changing it requires hacking which would probably break things.

  • Change Fingerprint login user picture in Windows 7

    I want to change the default fingerprint reader's User Profile picture when logging into Windows 7. It is listed as a user but this special user can't be found in Control Panel. How do I change it?

    I don't think it is possible  That icon is coming from the biometrics credential provider that is built-in to Windows 7.  The icon is not related to a user.

    Image img = toolkit.getImage("myImage.jpg");

  • Change login icon, change login icon

    How do I change the login icon?  Its a fortune cookie.  Also isn't there any easy way to change the background.  I really liked the old login background, the grey is just too boring.

  • X200 under Windows 7, fingerprint login pass through stalls

    (sorry, new to the forum --- I think this way of expressing the subject will be  less likely to be ignored)
    This is a new machine for us as well as a new operating system.
    We aren't using the fingerprint login and don't intend to. Usually when the machine boots into Windows first the fingerprint log in screen appears, but in a few seconds passes throgh to the password signin. But not always. Sometimes "stalls" in the fingerprint screen. There I can use "swicth users" and can log in with the supervisor account password but not a user account without administrator rights (it still wants a fingerprint and says not available)
    Can somebody tell  me if I can completely turn off the fingerprint log in screen and if so, how. I assume that would be unchecking something in the Windows start up but being new to 7 I don't even know how to look for it.

    Two problems with trying that:
    a) Not an available option If Iopen the control panel I see eight options: System & Security, Neytwork & Internet, Harware & Sound, Program, User Accounts and Family Safety, Appearance and Personalization, Clock, Language, and Region, and Ease of Access. No "Change Bionmetric Settings".
    This Winodws 7 Pro 64 bit
    b) I could have done more on introduction but didn't see the need. While these little computers aren't THAT familiar to me I am retired from decades in the cypher mines in the world of large mainframes. So Iknow SOMETHING about the problem. When Windows is booting up it will start a number of tasks (services) ending with the one that will prodiuce the log in screen. Or in this case, two such routines, one first dsplaying the fingerprint log in screen, then, after a few seconds,  running another routine that brings up the normal password sign in screen. At least, that's what happens wen it doesn't "stall" .
    I am asking if anybody can tell me how I turn off the first. It isn't clear that turing off the device that this first routine is trying to access wouldn't make things even worse (unclear that disabling thdevice would remove the routine from the liust of things Windows does when coming up -- perhaps the "stall" is even relted to it not getting a "ready" response form the fingerprint reader).
    I am new to Windows7. If still under Windows XP I know there is something that I run that brings up the "things to do while starting up" where you can check or uncheck things (I'd have to find my notes to give more details) but I don't know what that would be under Windows 7 nor, if I got there, the name of the "fingerprint log in" routine to uncheck nor the name of the routine to check that devices without a fingerprint reader would use.

  • How to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6 [Windows XP] ?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a possibility to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6...
    I'm using Windows XP SP2. Now the windows from my Java 1.6 application are grouped with the standard Sun icon [screen below] on the group.
    http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/8995/iconbl1.png
    I would like to change the icon for my own. Is there a way to do that ?
    Please help.

    Whichever icon I use for the main frame (I tried few), after grouping the main frame and other sub-frames the icon is changed to standard 'Java Sun' icon as you can see in the screenshot from my first post. The problem occurs only when frames are grouped, when the are separated in the task bar their titles and icons are ok...
    So how can I change the icon/title for the group only (for Java 1.6 in Windows XP) ?

  • How do I change the desktop Icon for an external hard drive?  I have gone to "Get Info" and tried dragging and dropping  several formats of pictures and the icon changes to the generic image of that file type.

    how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive.  Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.

    One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
    Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
    What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.

  • Portege M800 - System hangs after fingerprint login

    I just got my Portege M800 weeks ago and frankly speaking, this model has been giving me much trouble. Earlier it is the heat problem at the palm rest and there is no solution to it.
    Now I am facing another issue with the fingerprint login. I am running on WinXP. I set the system to be locked after 5 minutes idle. So normally after 5 minutes idle, the system will require me to scan my fingerprint to unlock the Windows. But there are times that, after scanning my fingerprint and successfully matched, the screen will just be blank (only showing the desktop wallpaper). No desktop icons, no windows task bar and nothing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del bring up nothing and no response even any key press. I tried to bring the system to hibernate by press the power button once also bring no response.
    So I finally have to press and hold the power button to hard-reset the laptop.
    Anybody can help or give any clue what was happening? Thanks!

    I found the Fingerprint software on the Toshiba European driver page.
    At this time you can find a 7.10.1.2 version for Vista 32bit and Win XP

  • Changing the folder icon

    I'm trying to change the folder icon for the Pictures folder. But, when I do, the Pictures icon on the left of the window also changes and becomes the same as the Pictures folder icon. I want the two of them to be different but can't seem to figure it out.

    If you really want to get into it, changing application icons, most of them are separate .icns files within the application package.
    For example, the Finder icon is
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/Finder.icns
    When you select Finder.app-Ctrl-click and choose show package contents to dig further down.
    Most of the other standard icons used by the Finder are in the same Resources folder.
    If you install the Developer Tools package from the MacOS X Install DVD, you can use the Icon Composer to apply and save your own icons to pretty much anything.

I'm lost, and I don't want to screw anything up here! Thanks for the help!

    You're looking in the wrong place. After you click the padlock, forget about that window and go to the menubar, top of your screen where it says

  • I lost my icon pictures on Safari

    All of a sudden I started to lose my icon pictures in the apps tha tI use.  The buttons are still there but the actual imae is gone.  All you see is a grey box.  Thanks in advance for assistance.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
