A. Method 1 (This does not require the RSA Agent to be installed on the machine):
   
    1. Open the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers\{8fd7e19c-3bf7-489b-a72c-846ab3678c96}
    2. Verify that the default value is @="Smartcard Credential Provider"
    3. Add the following DWORD value: "Disabled"=dword:00000001

B. Method 2 ( This requires the RSA  Agent to be installed on the machine):

   Create the following  REG_STRING value (everything in red will need to be added by hand):
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\RSA\RSA Desktop\Credential Provider Filtering\Smartcard Credential Provider]
   "ExcludeProvider"="1"

Note: The Windows Agent installer installs the templates locally so that they can be set simply by invoking gpedit and opening the ?RSA Desktop? folder.
