In TweakUI for XP there is a section near the end where it will
automatically enter your password for you when you boot up to save
you having to log on.

How secure is this password being kept by TweakUI when compared to
how securely my XP Pro keeps logon passwords?

Am I unwise to trust my passwords to TweakUI because it is much
easier for someone to break into TweakUI's password store than into
XP's own password store?
