So what do I do next?

After lots of discussion (mostly about D&B) Comodo said my certification was
ready and to click on the link enclosed in the email.

So I did, entered my password and the enclosed window appeared. Good news!

What do I do to actually get my files?

Lynn,

Sounds as if you may have received the certificate directly into the
certificate store on that computer. Which is probably not what you want.

Try exporting it (pic). Save the PFX file someplace safe.
You'll need to use signtool.exe to work with a PFX. But I hope you were
already using that.

Thanks Jane,

I haven't seen any screen like those at all.

Don't know about any stinkin' certificate store. ;-)

No PFX, no nothing. Have an unanswered email to Comodo.

Lynn, NOW that the resident expert - Jane Fleming! - guided you to a safe
retrieval -

BACKUP your password and PFX file

- I used FireFox and the extension was .p12 - renamed extension to .pfx -
good to go!

Thanks David and Jane. Dutifully saved.

I suppose that the pfx should be removed from IE. Is that correct?
