How to get to know an "unknown publisher"?

RC1 reports that digitally signed software is from an "unknown publisher".
This is irritating when the software concerned was actually written by
myself. => So how do I tell Vista that software signed with my own cert is
"known"?

You should be able to do this from the certificates mmc snap-in.

- Click start
- Type: mmc
- Press enter
- Click file -> add/remove snap-in
- select certificates, click add, select scope and then click finish
- click ok
- expand certificates in left
- I believe the one you want is "Trusted publishers", right-click it, all
tasks, import
- Follow the wizard
