Fingerprint Login via Windows XP native login

[mbressman]

Is there any way or built-in capability within Windows XP SP2 to have the operating system itself handle fingerprint login versus having the IBM fingerprint software take over the login management in order to use fingerprints?

I wished !

That would be great, but most fingerprint readers bundle software that does this... probably because windows doesn't.

Microsoft supports smartcards (as does the IBM Security Subsystem) but not biometrics... Yet.
