RE: Encrypt password location
The password is not saved in plaintext in the registry, rather as a one way encryption key. The way the encryption method is set up is so this key can be used to encrypt chat logs only, but not decrypt them.

The only way to actually decrypt and view your chat logs is by remembering the password.

darn, too slow
