67242 2002-08-01 03:54:00 I know that IE Saves your password, but is it to the registry or a file, and is it just one file or a whole lot of different ones for each website.
Can any of you guys out there help pls?
Thanks

Dont know for sure. If it is its encrypted.

I'm 99% sure that'd be the case.

I doubt it'll work at all, if you can find the .pwl file (it's probably a hidden file), because the file will be encrypted, and probably set up for that particular machine and windows installation.
