Hi
You can use vbscript and CAPICOM
Introducing CAPICOM
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsecure/html/intcapicom.asp
At Mitch Gallants site http://home.istar.ca/~neutron/wsh/ you will find examples
of CAPICOM used by VBScript.
Alternatively, you can use the command line utility certmgr.exe, a
cryptoAPI/Authenticode tool from MS (and also Certutil.exe I suppose).
To add a certificate to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" in
localMachine:
certmgr.exe -add -c "<cert-file>" -s -r localMachine root
More information can be found here:
******* Certmgr.exe *******
Download certmgr.exe from:
Authenticode for Internet Explorer 5.0

Certificate Manager Tool (Certmgr.exe)
