Description of Compressed Folder Password Vulnerability Patch

Windows Millennium Edition enables you to compress directory folders and protect them with passwords. However, Microsoft recently reported that those passwords are written in plain text to a file on your computer. Anyone with physical access to your PC who wanted to poke through your most confidential files, and knew where to look, would be able to access those passwords. This vulnerability does not affect any other password-protected areas such as Windows log-on.

Windows 98 and 98SE with the Plus 98 add-on are also vulnerable. Two patches are available, one for Win 98 and the other for Win Me.
