Hello,
I am currently in the process of writing a small application in VB6 that is intended to run in a modal form at the initialisation of the Windows GUI. It is thought that it would prompt the user for a name and password. On confirmation it closes and goes away, on false it shuts the machine down.

My trouble is i dont know how to utilise a file (such as psswd.ini) for the list of passwords and users.
It's does not need to be pGP thick, merely keeps children off the pc.

Any info on this problem or directions to good sites would be most welcomed.

Regards
Morpheus.
