Maybe you shouldn't hide the key, just encrypt it. The apps should know where the keys are and how to decrypt them.

As a real-world example, I need the ability for hundreds of customer desktop apps to be able to utilize one or more FTP resources, and also need the ability to change the credentials for those resources 'on the fly'. Those credentials are actually stored on a publicly accessible website in an XML file with very unassuming names/tags and, of course, encrypted. My 2 cents. Smile | :)
