Configurable settings
Some features of ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software can be configured through the following registry
settings.
• Preboot or power-on software interface: The mechanism for enabling fingerprint preboot or power-on
support and storing fingerprints on the companion chip is not normally displayed in the fingerprint
software unless there are BIOS or hard drive passwords set on the system. In order to override this
behavior and force these options to be shown without the existence of BIOS or hard drive passwords,
add one of the following, that apply to your computer machine type, to the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Protector Suite QL\1.0]
REG_DWORD "BiosFeatures" = 2
or,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Protector Suite QL\1.0]
REG_DWORD "BiosFeatures" = 4
