3. I feel really uneasy messing with the registry of my PDA; I have never done it before. I thought about putting 5 encryted password in 5 separate text file and hide them somewhere in 5 windows or programs folders. Good idea?
Not really. Isn't the whole point of the registry to give applications a central place to write too that is easily backed up etc.?
I know the web is littered with "Editing the registry may damage your system" warnings but it isn't really that dangerous. Just look up the APIs to use.
It doesn't really matter whether you hide the files somewhere or use registry keys, a cracker would see the calls to either the registry or file and find them easily.
