MSN Messenger uses Windows Credential UI [credui.dll]
on WinXP/2003. Password-Storage mechanism differs in
these OSes so, the code posted by tombkeeper
[http://xfocus.net/articles/200408/726.html] doesn't
seem to work anymore on my OS atleast. Also, a
'entropy' value has been thrown, which is based on
credui.dll GUID.

So, here is the code that fullfils the same purpose -
but surely works on my OS [WinXP SP2] :)
