This URL:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc962104.aspx
and also a few others seem to indicate that each Windows user has
his/her certificates in this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My\Certificates
I do have such a directory on my XP box, but it is empty. Meanwhile,
the application that is used on Windows to browse certificates does
show a long list of certificates I allegedly have on this box.
On another XP system I did see files in the above directory, but they
were binary files, unlike the contents you show:

I know nothing about these issues, so I'm really not the right person
to look into this. Perhaps someone else could chime in.
