How can I disable the fingerprint to signin reader?
When I loaded the first Microsoft Windows 7, it seems to me do not give any the choice to have a password (or digital fingerprint) needed to connect. I normally wouldn't use restrictions of access, but thought "oh what the devil?") and segt by th fingerprint scanner. For more than a year that it worked pretty well, but in the end, either my fingerprint has changed (!) or the drive fell into a sort of disrepair. In any case, I want my listing, as eliminate it and the password requirement. But I can't find any way to do it.
HELP, please!
Disable the fingerprint reader in Device Manager. BUT make sure first that the password works and you know what it is. Otherwise you lock you up.
I guess it's an HP computer, right?

HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - is there a way to disable the fingerprint reader?
I use a HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV 8.1 Windows.
This model came with a fingerprint reader in the lower left corner of the computer. Although this seems to be a nice feature, it is not one that I plan on using (I use LastPass to my passwords). I keep my Palm on the scanner that will bring to the top of the screen for HP SimplePass accidentally part traffic. This can come from the most inopportune moments, and it can become quite annoying always trying consciously avoid the fingerprint reader.
Is it possible to disable the fingerprint reader?
Thank you.
@DSWJoshua,
Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. For completeness, I'll give you steps to disable the driver itself and the biometric support, so you should not worry about this later.
To disable the driver, go to control panel, then Device Manager. Expand biometric devices. Right-click on the sensor of validity and uninstall it.
To disable biometric support, go to the Control Panel, biometric devices then. Uncheck allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints, and then save it.

Compaq nc6400 upgraded xp to win 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to work
I have upgraded xp to win 7, as we will have to do, but can't get the fingerprint reader to work. It appears in the devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista, but they got nowhere. Read in many places as Vista drivers will work but I seem to need more than that. Any clue? Thank you!!!
Hello:
Yes, for Vista fingerprint reader driver is the only one available, but you must install the software HP protect Manager security tools for Windows 7 from the model which succeeded the nc6400, who was the 6910p.
You must also use the W7 driver quick launch buttons.
If your computer laptop bluetooth, you need the W7 bluetooth software and driver...
And you can use the version of W7 HP wireless assistant software.
You can also read the manual tools security protect manager, so you can understand how to use the fingerprint reader.

How can I disable the keyboard navigation?
How can I disable the keyboard navigation? I want just the arrow keys to move the pages, and no matter if I use the arrow tool or hand (have here are already stupid), arrow keys do that move the caret. I tried for 2 hours to solve this problem and nothing works. Why anyone would do such a stupid feature? If this is not resolved I'm removing adobe reader software and never use again.

How can I disable the JavaScript debugger in my PDF documents?
Hello
I do everything I can to disable the debugger JavaScript in my documents created using Adobe Acrobat. Under Acrobat Edit > Preferences, I deselect (uncheck) 'Enable JavaScript debugger after restart Acrobat', 'Activate interactive console' and 'see the console on errors and messages.
Yet, when I go to advanced > Document processing > JavaScript Debugger, it starts the debugger just! How can I stop the debugger to start? Even after the security application strict password to the document where hardly anything other than open it is allowed, Acrobat still allows me to perform advanced options > Document processing > JavaScript debugger and start the debugger.
I am operating under the assumption that the debugger can allow people to discover my JavaScript source somehow, so I want to keep the debugger cannot be used. Even if they can't read my source, I don't see any upside to the debugger opens. How can I disable the debugger to be selectable from the advanced options > processing of the Document?
Thank you. I thought it would be a frequently asked question, but I spent a few hours searching without success.
Dave
P.S. I use Acrobat 9.1. I read somewhere that Acrobat X has more ability to disable the debugger. I saw a mention of "XFA" in this respect, whatever it is. In any case, if Acrobat X has additional abilities to disable the debugger, let me know.
As George says there is no way to prevent someone to extract the scripts in a file, if they really want (even if the security is applied to the PDF document, it takes a more circuitous route to get there), but a lot of people will use obfuscation tools to make it a more painful process for the novice. Acrobat does not support encrypted as a result of Creative Suite (JSX - BIN) files, but there are many tools out there that basically take your script, turn it into a complex of references at random clutter and hex strings, then run using a complex function of-jumbler. It is hackable, of course, but unless your code is worth a fortune, it makes it too much like hard work for most of the pirates to bother.
