Vista SP1 automatically using SHA-1 instead of SHA-512

I want to issue a new self-signed EFS certificate and key, using SHA-512.
When Vista creates self-signed certificates, it offers me few options, and
the certificate is always signed with SHA-1. My understanding is that Vista
SP1 is supposed to allow SHA-512. How can I get Windows to create the
certificate using SHA-512?
