How to change "Context" and "Description" when accessing the private key of a smime certificate (Outlook 2007 in Win7)
When sending signed emails or receiving encrypted emails the private key of a certificate is accessed. This results in a prompt requesting permission for the application to access the private key (Grant or deny to access this application to use the private key). In the key details field of this dialogue there are two entries "description" and "context". Is it possible to alter these entries so that a user can see what private key is accessed? Something like "context: Signing" and "Description: The private key of your signing certificate is accessed. Please enter your password. If yes, where can these values be changed. Kind regards

Hi, Thank you. I'll try that additionally. Although i think the "problem" is part of the operation system as accessing private keys is not part of outlook. Regards,
