Cryptography : key-storage

Hi,

I have a question regarding the RSA-crypto algorithm in .NET :

Executing the following creates a new keypair :
Dim param As New CspParameters
param.KeyContainerName = "NewKeyContainer"
param.Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseMachineKeyStore
Dim rsaObj As New RSACryptoServiceProvider(param)

==> but where are the keys actually stored ?
I looked for 'NewKeyContainer' in the registry but found nothing.
And when I use CspProviderFlags.UseDefaultKeyContainer where are they stored then ?

any help greatly appreciated !

Chris
