Utilities and Applications
This section describes the pre-installed utilities that come with the
computer and details how to start them. For further information on their
operation, please refer to each utility’s online manual, help files or
README.TXT file.
TOSHIBA
Accessibility The TOSHIBA Accessibility utility provides
support to movement impaired users when they
need to use the TOSHIBA Hot-key functions. In
use, the utility allows you to make the FN key
“sticky”, that is you can press it once, release it,
and they press one of the “Function” keys in
order to access its specific function. When set,
the FN key will remain active until another key is
pressed.
Fingerprint Utility This product has a fingerprint utility installed for
the purpose of enrolling and recognizing
fingerprints which can then be linked to a
username and password in order to remove the
need to input these details from the keyboard.
Just by swiping an enrolled finger against the
fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be
enabled:
■ Logon to Windows and access a security
enabled homepage through Internet Explorer.
■ Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted
and third party access to them is prevented.
■ Disable the password-protected screen-saver
when returning from a power-saving mode
such as Sleep Mode.
■ Authentication of the User Password
(and, if applicable, the HDD(Hard Disk Drive)
Password) when booting up the computer
(Power-on Security).
■ Single Sign-on feature
Fingerprint security cannot be used in models that do not have a fingerprint
module installed.
