Windows Server 2003 Password Manager and XP

September 18, 2003 Software Comments

Are you working with Windows Server 2003? Maybe you have noticed that Stored User Names and Passwords control panel applet:

Stored User Names and Passwords

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.
