cipher /x question .. .

Hi,

I have two topics/questions:

First, I know cipher exports your "keys" - does this mean BOTH the
certificate and the private key, or just the cert? If it's just the
cert, then how do you export the private key from command line?

Seccond, even with cipher, you have to confirm a popup -- can this be
bypassed so you can export/backup your keys (cert and private key)
programmatically?
