Registry

[Muhammad Bilal]

Hi.

Can we masked the value of a string in registry as '*' or any other
character that the original value of a string cannot be seen but still
avialable in vb.net

You should just encrypt the string. I don't know of a way to hide the value
such as a password.

You may want to convert string to a binary data. Don't know but please
post the solution if someone finds.

Vice versa should be possible IMHO.

Muhammed,

This answer is simple, NO, the registry contents the true values.

(And even if you encrypt it, then the key should be somewhere and then the
most obvious is the registry)
