   Other than the Resource Type that identifies the credentials belong to   
   Outlook Express, doesn't the Resource Name identify the account?  I'm   
   going by the Nirsoft PSPV sample shown at its web site.  The column   
   headers shown in PSPV are:   
      
   Resource Name   
   Resource Type   
   User Name/Value   
   Password   
      
   The Resource Name looks to be the account name.  It won't help if you   
   give e-mail and newsgroups accounts the same name.  However, I don't see   
   the Resource Name, or another field shown, that identifies the type of   
   account, just its name.   
      
   If the registry entries identify type of account, and also give the   
   account name, you could pair up the registry account name for NNTP   
   accounts with the PSPV Resource Names.  You'd have a table of registry   
   account names of NNTP type, pair the account name to the PSPV Resource   
   Name, and then get the password from the matching PSPV entry.   
      
   Pstore was just to secrete the passwords (and usernames), and really   
   that's all it did.  Supposedly the program using Pstore would know which   
   Resource Name to use for which account, but maybe it got that from the   
   accounts list in the registry.
