Resending my response as it doesn't appear to be newsgroup.

during createFilePKCS10, after acquiring the CSP Context with the
containerName (guid), a call CryptGetProvParam with PP_UNIQUE_CONTAINER
param is made and the value returned is overwritten over the containerName
property.

Hope this helps,
Thanks,
