>OUR REASONING FOR THIS BEHAVIOR:
[snip]

When scripting is used, its possible to have a script use the userID and
password entered in the GUI dialog. This could account for another
reason why these credentials are stored in a registry key. I don't think
its a good reason, but it may be another reason (have the scripting
engine refer to a registry key rather than pass it the credentials in
memory, since they may or may not be wanted in the scripting engine).

Thanks to Steve Kastl for making me think twice about this...;-]

Cheers,
Russ
