Managing stored passwords in Windows

When using IE and accessing pages on the internet through a proxy or opening password protected pages, an authentication window would pop up, requesting for a username and password, along with a "Remember my password" check box.

If you do tick the "Remember my password" box, this will end up saving the password on the computer and it will be remembered "forever", unless you manage to manually clear it somehow.

There is a way in which you would be able to view/manage all the passwords that have been stored on the local machine, you would need to issue the following command at a command prompt or on the "Start" -> "Run..." window:

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

Saving YouTube videos from the right-click context menu (IE only)

Ever wanted to download a video from the YouTube webpage? This is how you can do it.

1. Open Notepad and copy and paste the following to it:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Download using KeepVid]
@="c:\\keepvid.htm"
"Contexts"=dword:00000033

2. Save it as KeepVid.reg (name it anything, but keep the .reg extension)

3. Open a new Notepad and copy and paste the following to it:

<html>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
external.menuArguments.location = 'http://keepvid.com/?url='+ external.menuArguments.location.href;
</SCRIPT>
</html>

4. Save it as keepvid.htm in C:\. (NOTE: The saved file name and path has to match the light blue text in Step 1)

5. The final Step would be to import the .reg file created in Step 2 to the registry. Double click the .reg file and on the confirmation window, click "Yes" to proceed to add the entries to the registry.

6. Now, close all opemn IE windows and re-open a new IE window.

7. Open up a YouTube video link. When you right click the page, you should see the entry "Download using KeepVid". Click on this and it should launch a page with a download link for the YouTube video.
