Windows publisher moaning.

| How can i insert the publisher details into the EXE so when windows moans about uncertified (and non paying=) publishers it at least says 'D-Grafix Design' Instead of 'Unknown Publisher'? There doesnt seem to be a way in blide, bmaxide or reshack. I didnt notice it til i installed IE7 now it makes all my apps look suspect to my users. Even more so when its "unknown publisher". |

| AFAIK the only way is to buy a digital signature. I don't remember what websites do this but I know there are a couple - some cheaper than others. |

| I would recomend you not to use digital signatures for binarys, as there are known issues on Windows Vista. Some users are experiencing a delay of about 1 minute to be able to open some certified binaries when they're working inside a private LAN, and windows is trying to validate the certificate. I hope this will be fixed on Vista soon, but even some comercial sites such as Actipro, Quantum whale and others are removing digital signatures on latest updates of their products. |

| You just need to make sure you buy a certificate off one of the trusted companies that Microsoft have in their root certificate program. Like Thawte. |
