Default Certificate viewer/manager - Where to find it ?

Hello All,

Having read about Googles "soft nudging" to get the world to use HTTPS, I
realized that I've never even tried to look at the certificates an "S"
connection uses. When I tried to find a/the program to view such
cerificates all I could find was CERTMGR.MSC. But that thing can't start
(not an executable or DLL), and google turns up ziltch in that regard.

My question: Which program do I need to start to be able to view/manipulate
the stored cerificates (I found a few in the registry) ?

Also: At this day-and-age, are there *any* that I still need (found a number
of CA and Root certificates) ? In other words: would it hurt when I would
remove them all ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

P.s.
I can view/manipulate them thru IE, but is that the only way ? What about
(possible) other certificates ?
