title: How can I digitally sign an executable?
body: <p>I'm coding software that requires administrative access. When a UAC dialog pops up, it shows a different popup for digitally signed software than non-signed software. I believe digitally signing my software would enable users to trust my software easier. Does it cost thousands of dollars to digitally sign software, or is it free? Is there a simple way to do it? I've searched around Google and all I get is how to sign PHP, XML, and PDF files, which is not what I want. I need to sign my software executable.</p>
  
  <p>Just saw something about sigtool.exe? Is this the right direction? What about those complicated .pfx files and Authenticode or what not?</p>
