Steve,

LOL, I had the very same thought as you. No - I haven't written one and im not aware of one. But when I was doing some thinking on this, I was trying to decide wether an ActiveX control or a simple commandline util would be more usefull. Specifically, the nuisance of having to download and register the control on every machine (not to mention any NT security issues with registering using normal domain user accounts).

Was thinking that a commandline util that would prompt for a password, then spit out some kind of ASCII encrypted key would be kinda neat. But the problem with commandline utils is that its pretty darn tough (risky) to get the password back into your script (ie, through file or registry).

So yeah - maybe the ActiveX control is the easiest and most secure way to go. I think most folks would find this usefull, yeah ?
