What is the point of a password if you don't have to enter it?

Don't you let your browser remember passwords for you? As long as my computer is safe the password keeps my data inaccessible from elsewhere while not getting in my way. (BTW, where and how do they store the passwords? It might be a good idea to do it in a similar way.)

If the data is only accessible from my computer anyway a password that won't be asked has less purpose. What you might want instead is make it optional whether the password will be asked or not, so the user can decide how much security they like.

I must ask here before checking up because I have thought about something simular but as the path is for example:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\username\\Application Data\\..

There will be a problem if one computer uses D:\\ and another R:\\ etc... I would never know where the system is installed.

There should be functions to find out the names of such special directories, after all applications do use them.
