[Owncloud] Discovering owncloud, user's password storage under Windows

[Craig Sawyer]

You really shouldn't be storing plain-text versions of anyone's password.
I would recommend just having them do the login part themselves. That is
what I'm doing on my network.  I build my own ownCloud client that has all
the config setup except for the user/password.  When it runs the first time
on the machine it asks them for their user/pass.  They login to the client,
and it's done.  No other configuration required.  Works great for us.

Otherwise I don't know the answer to your question.  It uses the windows
registry, but I don't know what format the password is stored in, I'm sure
it's encrypted.  It uses QtKeychain, so if you go looking thru the
QtKeychain sources/docs I'm sure you could figure it out.

Regardless, I wish you successs!
