Code Signing Certificates

I am creating my first ClickOnce application in VS 2008.

ClickOnce requires that you sign your application with a certificate, and VS creates a temporary certificate to use.

However, I am wondering if it's possible to create a custom code signing certificate for deployment. I don't necessarilly want to purchase one from a CA, but I also don't want my clients seeing my domain and username on my apps. Right now the cert shows the Issued To and Issued By fields as 'mydomain\user', and I'd much prefer it show my company name.

I realise this will not make my application truely signed, but I'm not too worried about that right now.

Has anyone found a good way to deploy a signed application with custom signing details, and without purchasing a true certificate?
 
Hi, you can create your own (self signed) certificate if you have an instance of Microsoft Certificate Server or with the recource kit for IIS v6 or of course use OpenSSL which is what we use.
