Anand,

Thanks for your reply.I just tried it in 95 and it worked with minor
changes to my code. Some more clarifications on handling
certificates.Certficate are getting imported but not in the desired
stores.

For example-In my .pfx file there are several files are combined
together. First is the client public certificate which the client
private certificate is attached to, then the intermediate and root
certificates are added.

  While installing a .pfx files In to I.E using the import WIZARD we
get an option like "Automatically Select Store Based on Certificate
Type".
How can we set this option programatically.

While my program importing these certificates we are getting some
confirmation dialog boxes like "Do you want to install this
Certificate Isseud by so...."
Can we bypass these things to the users.

Appreciate your time.

Regards,
Kiran Thandra
