I run XP Home ed. I also bank online. I found one file
that the bank put in a directory on my HD. I opened it
with Wordpad and although I couldn't read most of it, I
did see my user name and password. I was wondering if
this same data could be on some of the WinXP files and
where they might be.

Thanks.
