GPG on Windows 7?

I've been using GPG4Win (current version I have is v2.0.14) on Windows 7
64bit for a year now with no issues from the OS.

Outlook 2007 was a different story though. None of the plugins out there
ran quite right without issues and crashing. I'm not a programmer so I
can't say if it was Outlook's fault or the plugin's fault. I switched to
Thunderbird with Enigmail about 8 months ago and have no issues with
email signing or encrypting.

As for the explorer shell, 64 bit does not allow encrypting from the
context menu. I encrypt/sign files from either the command line or
through Kleopatra or through GPA's file manager.
