Hello, I am using IE 6 on Windows 2000. I was wondering if there was a
way to check which companies I "trust", with regards to accepting SSL
certificates issued by those companies. If I create a self-signed
certificate, and visit my site, I'll get a message like:

"The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen
to trust ..."

In the list, I'd expect to find Verisign and Thawte. I never get the
above warning when I visit sites with certs issued by those companies.

Thanks for your time, - Dave
