When adding certificates, stls, ctls and crls to the system, I can choose the certificate store.
I have found only references to the "my" and "root" stores so far.
Are there any other?

There are three types of certificate stores in Windows.
Each of the three stores contain a number of folders which certificates go into
These can be seen if you open up an mmc.exe with the Certificates snapin.
Depending on what the certificate is meant to be doing you have to work out where it would go.
Most of the time on the servers we support we use the Computer Account store (as its accessible by all users on a Computer) and put certificates in the Personal store. Some times you might need to add in the signing authority public key certs into the Root and Intermediate Root CAs.
Where the STL (Silent Trusted Root Authority) go? Which store and folder? – Jader Dias – 2010-12-16T15:37:10.343
I guess "my" is an alias to the current user account store, and "root" is na alias to the machine store, right? – Jader Dias – 2010-12-16T15:38:26.160
Not quite...each of the stores has a Personal folder (in some of the scripts I've messed with they've been referenced like this CU\My (Current User) or LM\My (Local Machine) ). – daed – 2010-12-16T19:45:16.867
As for your Silent Trusted Root Authority, I've not heard of that term before.... – daed – 2010-12-16T19:45:43.760
2In Windows 7 they introduced another standard store named "Other People" (internally known as AddressBook) which contain certificates from people that send you Signed emails/documents... The problem is that this store must be manually added to systems running older versions of Windows (Windows Server 2008 R2, for instance) do that apps that rely on it can work properly. – Monoman – 2012-03-30T11:45:38.333
