    Vista wakes to login screen

    I'm running Vista and the Microsoft Finger Print Reader and am having what I
    would call an inconvenience. Every once in a while Vista wakes up from
    sleep. But being I'm using the Fingerprint reader it gives me 2 icons. My
    login as Admin and another which I can't use. My wife is setup the same as
    mine buy if hers wakes up it wakes to Windows and not the login screen. Of
    course hers will go back to sleep after the set time but mine will finally
    shut off the monitor but the computer still runs. Is there anyway to make
    it bypass the fingerprint reader if it does wake and go right to Windows?
    There are no options in the Fingerprint program for anything except to store
    passwords. Any ideas how I can work around this?

    Explore to : Control Panel >> Hardware and Sound >> Power Options

    Choose *Require a password on wakeup* from left pane...

    If UAC enabled, then click on -Change settings that are currently
    unavilable-

    Now select *Do'nt require a password* and clikc on *Save Changes *to
    commit changes

    I am also NOT running any kind of logon password. Only time I need
    Fingerprint Reader is for passwords on different websites.
