Lynn,

You'll need to have MS Certificate Services installed (Control
Panel->Add/Remove Programs->Windows Components), but you'll only have
this if you have server software (Win2K Server, etc.). Then you can
follow:

If you're on XP or 2003 (I'm pretty sure it works on XP, and guarantee it
does on 2003) then you can create a local SSL site:

Of course you can, and I would refer you to the section in the
aforementioned KB article which says,

"Request the Certificate.
There are different methods of submitting your request. Contact the
certificate provider of your choice to request and receive your
certificate and to determine the best certificate level for your
needs."

Then just use W2K Certificate Services.
