I'd like the idea. About the objections, as alvaro sais, just disable it, so that youness can even tell them "open the xml and search for the 'password' string" (or just use the old enc method) :) People sharing their profile among PCs can just disable the encryption or use the old method. Now it's just a matter of choosing the piece of hardware that people change less often :) bye ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
