Harry,

I'm about 80% sure that I once saw a utility (for Win)
that claimed to do just that -- perhaps when the mouse
cursor is moved over the asterisks . . . ? I think I
was looking for something else at the time, and I
don't spend all that much time in Windows anyway, so I
did not stop to investigate. But, if you hunt around
the freeware and shareware repositories, such as
Softpedia and Majorgeeks, searching on the keyword
"password", you might get lucky.
