I know I have some certificates installed on my Windows 7 machine. How can I see what they are, the nicknames they are known by, and browse detailed information (such as issuer and available usage)?

    Shorter version: gci -r cert: . I don't know why Powershell users insist on such long ass camel+hyphen case command names.

    @SalmanPK: As a matter of principle I always give the long versions of the commands in my answers. This isn't Code Golf, it's trying to be helpful. If you want shorter, you should use ls -r cert: anyway.

Start mmc via Search files or Command Prompt:

Menu File → Add/Remove Snap-In... → Add... → Certificates → Add → My User account and/or Computer account → Finish → Close → OK → Browse.

  • good answer, but usage of MMC may be restricted by policy if your computer is managed by an employer or other establishment; I was able to use the answer from @tborychowski
