        Check out this link http://www.codeproject.com/system/cexpire01.asp?target=cexpire[^]. If you want to store data in the registry, encrypt it, and put in a location that is not obvious. // Afterall, I realized that even my comment lines have bugs When one cannot invent, one must at least improve (in bed).-My latest fortune cookie

Very, very, very few people are capable of hacking into binary encrypted data (assuming that you wright binary encrypted data into the registry). From my experience there is no such thing as absolutely secure system, however RC2 and other encryption algorithms are pretty close.
