The Certificate Store doesn't store private keys, so you won't see them in
there.
Private keys are maintained by Cryptographic Service Providers (CSPs). If
your certificate has an associated private key, then the 'My' Certificate
Store will have pointers to the CSP where the private key is maintained.
