If you're just doing secure communications between client and server, you don't need to put a certificate in the code store. General, the root CA has to be in there for the certificate to be accepted, but if it is and it is trusted, the client will accept it.

Now, if this is a distribution app in which certificates are installed, current implementations of the CSPs in 2000 and XP require a user's confirmation. I've seen nothing to the contrary mentioned in the documentation. Think about the ramafications: if a client trusts a certificate that is signed by a CA already in their store (put there by a worm, for example) then a signed, malicious ActiveX control or Java applet could get nasty! Not a very secure approach, is it?

For this reason, users are notified when their store is being accessed or at least if it is being changed. I have mine configured to let me know when something is accessing my private key so I know when its being used. There's no documented way (and hopefully no way at all) for this to occur programmatically, otherwise something could be faking messages from me that are signed and valid.

As far as secure communications go (ex, HTTPS), this should all be transparent. If you need to first distribute a self-signed CA (one your company generated), distribute it manually or through your Certificate Server (assuming you're running it and have ActiveDirectory). Once the certificate is installed successfully (implies a user's trust), you shouldn't have a problem doing secure communications.
