Wireless WPA PSK Storage

[Guest Jack Gillis]

Can someone tell me where on my laptop the PreShared Key for a wireless

network is stored? I imagine it is in the registry somewhere but that is

just a wild guess. And it is no big deal, just curious.

 

Thank you.

Yes, it's in the registry, but you can't view it in clear text.
