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.

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.

How can I change my login user name to my current new email

I need to change mu iCloud user name from my old email to me new one but it won't let me because it is the same as my rescue email address. How do I get around this if it is the only email address I have?

Create another non-Apple email address to use and either use it as your new primary email address, or change the rescue address to the new address and then use the current rescue address as your new primary address.

FACTS
D.B 9i
AS 10g
Report 10g
PROBLEM
I implement a report where it generate a PDF output contain private employee Details and send it to his email
But I want to run this report in our internal web site,
Where user login by his ID to the network and then open the internal web site, where he can ask for his details by click a link that will open/call the report Directly
(without using a form to call that report ).
When report is called the connection to DB is done by a guest user which have a required roles to get the employee details.
NOW:
my report should get the login user to network ( Windows OS user ).
And base on it Query for his details and send it to his email.
Note that : Login user to network = his ID in D.B = email ID
And since the report is run in the AS (mid tire) then I can't get OS user login.
Is there a way that in the report it self I can get the OS login ID of the client. ???
Note:
I don't want to user Developer forms.
Where I can use the webutil to get user login ID of the Client and pass it to the report and run the Report.
My requirement is to run the report direct ( URL ).
Therefore :
Is there a way that in the report it self I can get the OS login ID of the client. ???
Or any idea can help in my issue/ case
Plz help.

i use it but since my report run in the AS (mid tire) then
it will return the user of AS not the Client OS user.

The default user account picture is stored here.
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
or....
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
You can also configure this by a registry setting;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
UseDefaultTile = 1
The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

Now, Please tell me what should I do, Thanks.

Hi,
First of all, please run the command slmgr.vbs /dlv
After that, check the License status if it is licensed.
Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

Why does my user account picture change to my contact picture at login?

I have my contact information in the address book with a photo of me. Then I have my account user picture a different picture. After waking the computer after sleep or screensaver the login dialogue box picture changes to the one I have set up for my contact info. It's annoying.

You are correct - it is very annoying! I haven't found a way to disable that yet - other than by deleting the picture in the Address Book.
Give Apple some feedback!
Cheers,

How can I delete user account picture in Windows 8?

I have set my account picture, but now want to delete the pic and back to the default.
How can I do it?

Hello,
The userpic, the image tiles used for your account picture, is located, in different resolutions, in the following folder: C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\%UserAccountSecurityIdentifier%
where %UserAccountSecurityIdentifier% is a placeholder for the Security IDentifier (SID) assigned by the operating system or domain controller to your user account.
Here is how it looks like:
NOTE: If your are using multiple account for login to your computer, like local Security Account Manager (SAM) account (standard account created and stored on your local PC in NTFS), your Microsoft Account (the one using internet account name provided
by Microsoft such as [email protected],
[email protected]), or an Active Directory account, please open root C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\ folder and browse to the folder with the name of the SID assigned to your user account for which you want to change the user picture.
To find out what SID refers to what user account name used on your PC, proceed with the following:
Start the elevated command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+Q and typing
cmd, then hitting Enter.
At the command prompt type: wmic useraccount get name,sid and press
Enter.
This will return a table with all user accounts registered on this computer (that is those who had once logged onto this PC) and their corresponding SIDs.
Now lookup this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users
And locate the subkey (named correspondingly to the desired SID), then remove REG_SZ values that contain paths to the userpic images to remove traces of userpics.
WARNING: Please create new system restore point before making this registry change!
Hope this helps.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

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.
PROBLEM STILL OPEN

Fingerprint sensor not working for Windows 7 login

I recently re-installed my Windows 7 Bit and also installed ThinkVantage Client Security Solution v8.30.0049 together with ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software 5.9.5 on my T410s.
I enrolled some fingerprints without a problem and checked the setting "User fingerprint scan instead of password when logging into Windows". In the Windows login screen I see an icon for fingerprint login and the green light next to my fingerprint sensor is turned-on expecting the scan.
However, when I scan my finger, the green light blinks once, pauses, and then blinks a second time. Nothing else happens. I do not get logged into Windows. Any idea what the issue may be?
Solved!

If you're logging into a domain, then you need to configure windows to allow domain logon with a fingerprint.
type "change biometric settings" into the start menu

Hi Blotontheland,
Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

User picture becomes blurry at login?

I turned on my mac today and I noticed that when you're at the login window and you click on your user picture to proceed to the password, the password entry window creates the user picture to go kinda blurry. This isn't that big of a problem at all, I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or how to fix it.
Thanks, N

How to I get rid of pop up user account control "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer" I have windows 7 professional.

I keep getting an annoying pop up the says "User Account Control" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two days after I downloaded Firefox and set as my default browser.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

User Pictures not changing

So I decided to change my user picture from an apple standard to a photobooth picture. However, the button in photobooth seems to do nothing. When I open up system prefs and set it manually (select the picture, adjust the size, hit "set"), it changes in the well, but not in the list to the right (like it does when I set and apple picture) and when I quit out of system preferences my changes are GONE.
Anyone have a fix for this?
thanks!

Try logging out and back in. Or, restart.
