ThinkVantage applications
This topic provides a brief introduction to some ThinkVantage applications.
Note: Depending on your computer model, some of the applications might not be available.
Access Connections
The Access Connections program is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location
proles. Each location prole stores all the network and Internet conguration settings needed for connecting
to a network infrastructure from a specic location such as a home or an ofce.
By switching between location proles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and
easily connect to a network with no need to recongure your settings manually and restart the computer
each time.
Active Protection System
The Active Protection System program protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your
computer detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock.
The hard disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating. This is because when the hard disk
drive is not operating, the system stops it from spinning, and might also move the read and write heads of
the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is
stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns the hard disk drive on.
Client Security Solution
The Client Security Solution program protects your computer by securing client data and deecting security
breach attempts. It also can help manage your passwords, recover a forgotten password, monitor security
settings on your computer, and suggest how to enhance your computer security.
Communications Utility
Use the ThinkVantage Communications Utility program to congure settings for the integrated camera
and audio devices.
Fingerprint Software
If your system comes with a ngerprint reader, the Fingerprint Software program enables you to enroll your
ngerprint and associate it with your Windows password. As a result, the ngerprint authentication can
replace your password and enable simple and secure user access.
GPS Enabler
If the PCI Express Mini Card installed in your computer supports GPS, your computer can receive signals
from GPS satellites and determine its location. If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can nd
your location on a real-time map provided by Google Maps or Microsoft Bing™ Maps.
Lenovo AutoLock
To help guard against unauthorized use, the Lenovo AutoLock program automatically locks the computer
screen when the integrated camera does not detect human presence through facial feature recognition. The
integrated camera starts detecting facial feature when there is no activity from the keyboard or mouse for a
certain period of time.
Lenovo Solution Center
The Lenovo Solution Center program enables you to troubleshoot and resolve computer problems. It
combines diagnostic tests, system information collection, security status, and support information, along
