Is there any documentation on key-containers generated by vs.net?
I noticed that my Win2000 sp3 with vs.net EA has several (6!) such
key pairs with keycontainer names:
  VS7 VSIP_{......

What VS7 components are generating these key-containers? are they safe
to remove?

I have developed a web-based utility (requires CAPICOM 2) which
shows all key containers, including those NOT associated with any
certificate (like those for vs.net):

The keycontainers I refer to above will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
