Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hey,
I have a commercial application, that needs to store the user's id and
password on the local machine, and we'd like to hide it from our users
(to prevent frauds etc.).

How can I store my application's data in a hidden way?
And don't tell me the obvious solutions: hidden file, registry key
etc. - isn't there a more reliable\hidden way?

Thanks ahead
