Re: Hiding passwords

Sorry, forgot this:

1- You need a "Pro" product for this: XP Pro, W2K Pro, NT4WS. Won't run in XP or W2K vanilla, the NTFS there has been "dumbed down".

2- In XP Pro, apparently you need a "$" in front of the data stream name. In the others, any word will do. In the others, a "$" in front will also work. So, use "$" for portability.

3- Not all commands can see these data streams. Perl should, but I never tried. Source patch?
