QuestionHow to store sensitive data? Pin

Situation:
I'm working on an application (C# in .Net 2.0) where the user is able to enter some sensitive data (eg passes) in the options.
This sensitive data has to be stored in a secure (encrypted) manner - so that nobody outside the application can read the data - but of course the application itself should be able to read it on later occasions.

First I thought an encrypted xml would be fine, but then the key for encryption has to be shared - an idea I really don't like - even when the key is encrypted as well (then the key for the key must be shared).
Hash encryption is no option for me, because I don't like to bother the user with a password entry on startup, or something like that, when everything is alread entered in a previous session via the options.

Question:
How do applications like Outlook or instant messanger do store sensetive data (like mail server passes)- via an encrypted good hidden file? or is it a registry entries? or something else?

I'm open for everything, as long the sensitive data is stored in a safe manner; and if your ideas do circle around encrypted xml or hash it's not a problem for me - maybe I took the wrong approach concerning those two.

Thx in advance
