I dont think IE stores passwords, if youre only using messenger. It'll store passwords in its own folder

Windows Live Messenger version 8 . x/9 . x: The passwords are stored in the Credentials file, with entry name begins with "WindowsLive:name=" . These passwords can be recovered by both Network Password Recovery and MessenPass utilities .

This program (majorgeeks.com) can tell you the passwords stored on the machine unencrypted, including Firefox's. Look under "Secrets".

I have seen quite a few programs that can do that, and its quite astonisheing WLM doesn't encrypt saved passwords.

Wonder when it'll incorporate that feature?
