The password encryption in the registry is purely to avoid it being
displayed on-screen in plaintext if you're editing the registry. The
important thing to note is that you should only be able to access the
registry of a remote machine if you are a valid user on that machine. If
you can access the registry without being a valid user then the machine is
pretty much dead-meat anyway, VNC or no.
