Toshiba Tablet Access Code Logon Utility

A few days ago I found out about the Toshiba Tablet Access Code Logon Utility. This is a product that allows you to use your signature to unlock your Tablet PC. It shipped with the M200 series but works (unsupported) on the 3500 series. Of course I installed it.

I just installed it. It worked fairly well. You train it a few times, and tell it when you want to use it (you can choose Tablet & Portrait mode). I selected Tablet mode only. However, it had one major problem. Whenever my machine was locked (automatically during standby or hibernate), the domain field was changed from my Windows Domain to the Local machine domain. Since I probably unlock my computer 10-15 times a day, this got really old, really fast. Although this was a cool product (unlocking a Tablet with a pen is a hassle, especially with strong passwords that we use at Microsoft) this bug sealed it's fate. It's gone.

But if you are a Toshiba Tablet user who is not joined to a domain, this may be the perfect little tool for you.
