Windows Server 2003 Password Manager and XP
Are you working with Windows Server 2003? Maybe you have noticed that Stored User Names and Passwords control panel applet:
No more net use /user:. I wish Microsoft would have included it in XP already.
But wait… Maybe we can use that applet on Windows XP as well. In fact, the control panel applet’s executable is %SystemRoot%\System32\keymgr.cpl. So if you have access to a Windows Server 2003 installation, just copy that file to your Windows XP box and open your control panel. Viola.

AMOF, this thing exists in Windows XP. Just go to Control Panel -> User Accounts, select your account and click the hyperlink Manage my network password.
The file keymgr.cpl also exists on Windows XP but is a DLL file instead of a CPL.

I didn’t know. Thanks, Mario.
