In Windows XP, there are two settings in Group Policy I'm looking at:

Password must meet complexity requirements
Store password using reversible encryption

Both of these settings are under Local Computer Policy/Computer Config/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account Policies/Password Policy.

For the first one, I have found the setting in RSOP_SecurityEventLogSettingBoolean class in WMI. However, I can't find the latter. Does anybody know in which class in WMI can I read that particular setting?
