Smart Card "No Driver Found", QR fun

 Smart Card "No Driver Found" - revisited - You can just ignore this message every time you read a card
OR the fix is: run
gpedit.msc
 1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the Search programs and files box, and then press ENTER.
2. In the console tree under Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates.
3. In the details pane, double-click Windows Components, and then double-click Smart Card.
4. Right-click Turn on Smart Card Plug and Play service, and then click Edit.
5. Click Disabled, and then click OK.

 BUT Windows 7 Home Premium does NOT have gpedit (my New Laptop is W7HP)
 I looked for an install, but got a couple of dodgy looking sites that did NOT install gpedit.msc
I guess for now I'll just have to live with the annoying message

 These sites did NOT work: (remove the zzz if you really like dodgy web sites) icpezzzp thecustomizewzzzindows




This also does NOT work in Wind7HomePrem
 1. Run MMC.exe
 2. Add Group Policy snap-in
3. Open Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Smart Card
 4. Disable Turn On Smart Card Plug And Play Services. Smart Card "No Driver Found"

  1. OK W7HP has at least 3 old gpedit.msc in various directories, but NONE show
    Smart Card Plug and Play Service
    - this could be a HUGE negative, I may have to get W7Prof by some means...
