[Suggestion] Encrypt login usernames in registry by puazzo on 01-19-2008 at 10:39 AM
Hi all!
I have a simple but useful suggestion to improve privacy protection.
I'd like MsgPlus to encrypt following keys/values in registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\DefaultUser
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\username@hotmail.com
The "Youtube launcher" script/plugin already do that!

Most scripts use the UserID to save settings... IIRC there is no way to reverse the number back to the email (Kinda like md5 encryption) There is really no need to worry about your email being in the registry anyway; Windows keeps it's own keys anyway, sorted by email, for who logs into messenger
