can you retrieve and open a file from protected storage?

Hi,

I think you mean isolated storage.

Ken thanks, you're right. Actually I'm trying to find a way to store a
custome encrypted license file and its decryption key in a location that is
not normally easily accessible. I thought of isolated storage but I'd like
to keep it simple for myself in programming and easy to maintain at customer
site later on.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
