Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid it didn't really help.
I just want to know where to look in my Win XP Pro/IE6/OE6 to determine
whether I my Internet Explorer 6/Outlook Express 6 has the "MS Enhanced
Cryptographic Provider", or the "MS Base Cryptographic Provider".
Is there a particular file/folder to look for ?
