A colleague of mine just loaded a new root into IE, and pointed out that when one does this, the new root is apparently BY DEFAULT enabled for all purposes, including some interesting ones like "Digital Rights" and "Windows System Component Verification." I just tried this, and it appears to be the case. (But I haven't yet tried to see whether Windows will happily use my root for these OS-specific purposes....) --Sean -- Sean W.
