REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GNUPG]
"HomeDir"="%APPDATA%\\GnuPG"
"gpgProgram"="C:\\PRogram Files\\GnuPG\\gpg.exe"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mingw32]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mingw32\NLS]
"MODir"="C:\\Program Files\\GnuPG\\Locale"

gpg will look for gpg.conf and the keyrings in the directory specified by
HomeDir.
