Encryt a string

[MichaelH]

Hello,

I am trying to create a program that runs to change certain permissions in the registry but to do this the user needs administrator privaleges. I have used the RunAsSet command to set the permission level correctly but I am reading the username and password for an INI file. This causes various security problems as the password is unencrypted and was wondering if there is a way to encrypt the string so the password is not stored in plain text.

Thanks.

I'll just give you a hint here..

The function is called _StringEncrypt and can Decrypt too.

Yes, _StringEncrypt() is a standard UDF so look in the helpfile for it.
