Hypothetical case: employee goes for a coffee and smoke. She has no screen saver on her Win 7 PC and doesn't logout. Nosey employee who sits next to her knows she has access to more on the corporate network than he has (she has special account login names). Nips on to her machine and backs up her saved credentials to a USB stick and then restores them at his liesure to his Win 7 PC. Without entering into a discussion on sloppy internal security practices , is it that simple? I tried it and it seemed to work just fine but I may have had elevated privileges. Just wanted someone to confirm or deny it was possible. If I have missed an earlier thread apologies and please point me to it. Thanks!

Hi, Standard users can also open Credential Manager and backup credentials. Therefore, in your case, a work computer that is not password protected should not exist.
