I have an Infineon TPM chip on my motherboard. I have windows 7 proffessional 64bit. I have set up the software from infineon to handle the file encryption/decryption and that works fine.
After expirimenting with another utility from my motherboard vendor (Gigabyte - SmartTPM) that was based on smart card technology, the windows smart card systray icon has been activated and it keeps nagging me for my smartcard and pin which I don't have/use. I've since removed the "SmartTPM" utility but the native windows smart card system remains activated.
All of my encrypted folders/files and containers are correctly using the infineon managed certificates and I can still encrypt/decrypt all of them so I'm not locked out of anything when I don't insert my non existent smart card.
How can I make the smart card system stop bugging me, as it is not needed? I can't seem to find any useful management tool for it.
