I couldn't find any evidence that this is the case for
the built-in providers (file, reg, in-memory,
collection) on my Win2k system.  When I search through
the registry, the only CertDllOpenStoreProv entry I
find is for an LDAP provider.

Unless you know which DLLs implement the built-in
providers, I'm still assuming crypt32 implements them
itself.  As far as why I'd want to do it this way, I'm
assuming the most common usage is of the system
provider, which is really just a reg provider with the
root key predefined.  That's where I'd like to start.
