Hi

I hope someone can help clear something up for me. I created a new Key
Container at the start of my application using CryptAcquireContext
(with CRYPT_NEWKEYSET flag).

My question relates to proper cleanup. Do I call CryptReleaseContext
first then call CrptAcquireContext to delete the key container I
created at the start. Or does it matter?

Thanks
