Password Secrets of AIM
AIM version 6.x (till v7.2) onwards stores the password at the following registry location,

AIM PRO version uses the different registry location to store the passwords,
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AIM\AIMPRO\<Account_Name>
Latest version of AIM (v7.5 since v7.3) stores the encrypted username/password in the file 'aimx.bin' at following location
[Windows XP]
C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Application Data\AIM

[Windows Vista & Windows 7]
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\AIM
