Starting view client from VB script

The View portal launches the View Client from IE using some VBscript.
I want to do the same from my website. But the problem is, when
I do something similar like client.startClient(<data><password>xyz</password></data>)
the password shows on command line (which would be visible to other users
in a terminal client setting).

I know you all want to tell me it is a bad idea to hardcode or even
generate html with passwords in there, but I have special need for that.

Anybody has any idea how to get around having the -password xyz show
in command line (visible by tools like process explorer) of the View Client?
There are other functions like client.openDesktop() which seems to take
similar arguments but I can't figure out how to use them, anybody
has any idea how those those functions work or are they documented?

Thanks

Only way around it is to not use it.

Only way around this I am aware of is to deploy as a kiosk and disable SSO then, only presenting the Windows login.
