Hello,

Don't know whether you can, but I would like to caution you in doing 
this. A few months ago my son had his PC stolen.
This was immediately followed by misuse of all his registered accounts 
(email, bank, websites).
Mails were completely deleted and bank was accessed, but happily no 
transaction was done because of lack of a pass or something.

The point is that he had saved all his passwords in his browser or in 
the applications he used. For that reason it was easy for the thiefs to 
access his accounts.

If you now save your passwords in Linux, thiefs of your machine will 
easily access your windows shares and your effort to secure will be for 
naught.
Of course, it is entirely up to you. I am only cautioning you that this 
might happen. Just dont blame Linux if it happens.

Guus Bonnema.
