Hello all,

I received some laptops, and it gives to the user the option to use
smart card.
How I disable this?

I know it seems a newbie question, but I didnt find the answers on the
papers.

Apparently there is a smart card reader or software on the computer.
Removing those should stop the prompt for smart card use. Device Manager or
Control Panel/add and remove programs can help with that.

Or simply disable the Smart Card service.
