I believe that it may be possible to do this in a script, but it would be very insecure, as both the full and short password must be stored. Perhaps asking messenger to remember the password may be the better solution.

Actually thats not true.
It's stored on your pc in (now) an encrypted file and if say you want wlm to save it it will go in that file.
that's not what he meant...

I think he meant a different, shorter password for home use, while keeping the longer password for other machines.

I'm not sure how to 'lock' messenger but I sent in my "rock paper scissors' script the functions to encrypt text with md5.. so if someone would do the locking for you just copy my code and encode the shorter password, save it into registry and have the script check if what you typed (after conversion to md5) equals what's stored in the registry.

isn't it easier to encrypt the original password with the short password as password and store that as a string in the register..
then take that string out off the register and decode it with the short password and put the decode text as password in the password field?
