Hell JJ,

Did your MSC file association broke?

As far as I can tell I never had such a file association. Is it maybe part
of an add-on installation (from the Win98se CD) ?

Try this command line:

mmc c:\windows\system\certmgr.msc

Yes, while googeling I found that reference too. Alas, MMC.EXE is not found
on my machine (remember: Win98se). I did find an MMC.DLL though. Any
relation ?

Alternatively, use the native one:

rundll32 c:\windows\system\cryptui.dll,CryptUIStartCertMgr

Thanks, that one worked for me. And it shows the same layout as from within
IE. :-)


As for the other question, do I still need those CA and Root certificates on
a Win98se machine, any idea ? Could they (still) be harmfull to my machine
(automatically trusted and al that).

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

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 ?

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