It's better to use the registry on Windows as people don't always have a home directory defined (or even a consistent one). However no application outside cvsnt itself should be accessing this file. I can't guarantee that its format will remain the same & won't be particularly interested if an application that does rely in it then breaks. The correct way to update the password list is with 'cvs login' and 'cvs logout'. Tony
