Where can I find the windows certificate store location on the hard drive for server 2003. I am coding a c# utility for managing few certificates we use to notify when they are expiring. So, I choose to store them in the windows certificate store. Instead of using any existing location(Personal...) that I see in MMC I would like to create another location with my application name and a place(eg: 'c:\certs') of my choice, so that I can back up.

Select Run from the Start menu, and then enter certlm. msc. The Certificate Manager tool for the local device appears. To view your certificates, under Certificates - Local Computer in the left pane, expand the directory for the type of certificate you want to view.
On a computer that has the Windows operating system installed, the operating system stores a certificate locally on the computer in a storage location called the certificate store. A certificate store often has numerous certificates, possibly issued from a number of different certification authorities (CAs).
Every certificate on your business computer is stored in a centralized location called the Certificate Manager. Inside the Certificate Manager, you are able to view information about each certificate, including what its purpose is, and are even able to delete certificates.
I know this kind of old question, but when I was looking for an answer to the similar question, I was able to find that certificate information is stored in the windows registry, not in the regular files: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787544(WS.10).aspx#w2k3tr_certs_tools_dgzz
