I updated MSN Messenger and noticed it no longer keeps sign in names under network passwords and this is great but…I know how famous XP is for storing information, so is XP storing the usernames/email addresses somewhere else?
Thanks
Yep, MSN Messenger 7.5 introduces a new sign in interface and backend/platform.
I quote from the blog of a program manager for MSN Messenger:
Quote:The Identity Services team (passport) has created a client library called the Identity Client Run Time Library (or IDCRL for short). It provides a richer programming model and easier integration of passport authentication services into messenger. In other words: Improved Login functionality including reliability, auto-complete in the login address well; ability to save login information.As you’ve noticed, it is no longer stored in a core component of Windows XP, instead they’re stored in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftIdentityCRL.
Personally, I’m not liking that the e-mail addresses are stored in plain text, they usually make an effort to hide or mask them. The passwords appear to be solidly encrypted though, which matters more.

hummmm… sure about that?
try that little tool by example: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mspass.zip🙂
if someone interested to find the way to decrypt that key you can send me an email…
