Is there any way to crypt ODBC settings (user, password)? It seems to
be stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI in plain text. I
can use bogus data there and "cover" it with proper login and password
on application side, but... er... MSSQL does not store password in this
way...

It is probably possible to prevent user from reading the values in the
registry, but it is a sort of a whole-system-not-application setting.

It seems that this way of storing information can be unsafe in certain
circumstances and so on...

Thanks in advance,
Bart Golda
