Safe Run As - keylogger protection

This tool is created to protect administrative passwords against keyloggers. 
Administrator's passwords are stored in the AES encrypted file on the removalable storage (flash-drive, floppy). Then 
you need to use "run as" command you launch saferunas.hta, and provide username and encryption key. 
Passwords are decrypted and cmd.exe is launched with selected user's privileges. 
Edit.hta tool can be used to create and modify file with encrypted passwords. 

Attention! 
- This tool doesn't protect against smart malware which can copy password file and steal encryption key. 
- You can't choose program to run. Coming soon. 
- In this version password entered is used as AES key directly. This is bad idea. PKCS#5 version is coming soon. 
- Attention - when you run GUI application as high privileged user, you are vulnerable for Shatter-style attacks (see 
shatter vbs for example).
