An index of all of the different standard stores for certificates used to authenticate with a service. There are two store locations- one for the stores for the local machine and one for the stores for the current user. There's no way to directly reference the location of the stores for some other particular user besides the current user.

Here are the eight standard stores.

1. The My store keeps your personal certificates that you use and is where most custom certificates go.
2. The Disallowed store keeps certificates that have been revoked so they aren't forgotten.
3. The AddressBook store keeps certificates for other people and resources.
4. The TrustedPeople store keeps certificates for other people and resources that you trust.
5. The TrustedPublisher store keeps certificates for application publishers that you trust.
6. The Root store keeps certificates for certificate authorities that you trust.
7. The CertificateAuthority store keeps certificates for intermediate certificate authorities.
8. The AuthRoot store keeps certificates for other third-party certificate authorities.
