RE: [GD-Windows] Getting an user's security details

[Ivan-Assen I. <as...@ha...>]

You are looking for a function like GetCurrentUserPassword() ?
That's a very bad idea, and I'd be very surprised if such a function
existed. 

Imagine someone walking in on to your PC while you're on
lunch break and running a small exe calling that function.
He would be able to gain much more control over your PC
(and possibly your life, if you, like the vast majority of
users, reuse passwords) than he has just by having temporary
physical access. He could change your password. He could
set your password to expire. He could log in with the same
password to other services.

Notice that Win2K-s own cron-like security service (Scheduled Tasks)
asks you for a users's password when you specify you need to
run a task as a certain password.

Actually, Unices have been doing just fine for decades without
having the passwords themselves stored anyway - just their
one-way encrypted (hashed) form.

PS. What's wrong with Scheduled Tasks?
