Certificates: Several nodes in the applet's tree list are just box characters
When I run the Certificates applet (certmgr.msc), the tree list of various categories of certificates has three first-level nodes that are composed of squarebox characters, so the tree list looks like:Certificates - Current User|_ Personal|_ Trusted Root Certification Authorities|_ Enterprise Trust|_ Intermediate Certificate Authorities|_ Active Directory User Object|_ Trusted Publishers|_ Untrusted Certificates|_ Third-Party Root Certification Authorities|_ Trusted People|_ #|_ #|_ #####kIn the above, the # character was used to represent the squarebox character displayed in the applet's tree nodes. Selecting them shows no object types under those nodes.Are the first 9 nodes from Personal to Trusted People the only ones that should show up in the tree list? Or am I missing some categories? When Igo into Internet Options -> Content -> Certificates, the tabs listed at thetop for the certificate categories are:PersonalOther PeopleIntermediate Certification AuthoritiesTrusted Root Certification AuthoritiesTrusted PublishersUntrusted PublishersSo this list has 6 categories while the Certificates MMC applet has 9 (plus the 3 malnamed ones). If I run the MMC applet (mmc.exe) and add the Certificates snap-in for current user and another for local computer, I see the nodes with the squarebox characters.Besides the certs that are added during Windows XP installation, the only cert added since then is for EFS (for my account).Picture1 person needs an answerI do too

Hello Ronald,Seems like you certificate viewer does not support the required decorder format. And also, the certificate licensing form may have its content hidden to support security. Please check with your certificate viewer to check its language compatibility. There might be small plug -in which will help you to decode the content. Try to check these basics.Blaze
