Hello All, I have configured a digital certificate on Outlook 2000. When ever I sign a message with my certificate, I get the following message pop up: Signing data with your private Exchange Key. An application is requesting access to a protected item. I then have to press the OK button. How can I turn this message off? Anyone? Thanks, Alex.
