Question What to use for my Application

[CNC_Customs]

HI all,
I'm looking to create a new application to keep track of User names & Passwords.
I would like to hear some Opinions on how to store my Data.
Currently I'm using an Access database but that is limited to X86 and I find it difficult to add Encryption and Images.
I just got done creating a simple Address Book using XML but I looked at a lot of code snippets because I have never worked with XML before.
I love creating these little Programs but unfortunately only have limited time to get proficient in my coding skills.
When posting replies please keep that in mind.
Thanks!

The amount of data is only going to be small so I would think that a file in your own custom format would be fine. A BinaryWriter on top of a CryptoStream on top of a FileStream will allow you to write objects directly to the file in encrypted form. The same setup with a BinaryReader instead of a BinaryWriter would allow you to read the data abck again.
