Windows keeps some passwords in memory once they have been entered, and others are read from a hidden part of the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider and can be read using the protected storage COM object pstorec.dll. http://www.cobans.net/pslib.php Various password 'recovery' utilities using protected storage are at: http://www.nirsoft.net/ Network Password Recovery lists all network passwords saved, another tools read RAS passwords, and specifically Protected Storage PassView reads all the MSIE passwords (and Outlook and MSN). http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html Angus -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
