Fingerprint management application launch
Your fingerprint management application (FMA) should display your product or company logo when the user starts the FMA or switches from the Windows 7 user experience to your application’s experience. You can also brand your FMA to identify it as being supplied by the FMA provider.
This information applies to the following operating systems:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Windows 7
Users can launch the FMA by selecting one of the following tasks:
- Use your fingerprint with Windows
- Manage your fingerprint data
- Remove your fingerprint data
One or more of these tasks is available on:
- The Biometric Device control panel
- The Hardware and Sound control panel
- The User Accounts control panel
- Desktop search
The following table maps the FMA launch tasks to their locations.
