I got gcc working on my windowz box so's I can compile the sorce, have compiled the source and get it working fine. But by defalt it creates and stores my keys in my C:\Documents and Settings\kevin\Application Data\gnupg I would like it to create and store the keys in A:\gunpg, ya see, I Never want the Private Key on my local computer I want it on a Floppy or USB, that I can then Put into a Safety deposit box. You see it is much harder break into a bank and take a saftey deposit box than my office and take my computer. Anyhow can some one point me in the right direction on the source, on what I can change in the source to get this to work? Thank's Kevin I'm compiling using Gnupg-1.4.2
