Anyone ever check out the way AIM stores passwords? The hash is in the registry and reusable. I'm not sure there's a 
good way to save the passwords but by copying the hash and making the proper registry keys you can use the hash on any 
other computer. I had some code to do this that would retrieve the hash and put it in a registry file or just a text 
file it could read back but I dont feel like looking for it. Nothing too special just figured I'd bring it up as I 
haven't seen this done anywhere.
