Yes, that will work with gpg.conf on Windows too:
# disable default pubring.gpg and secring.gpg
no-default-keyring
#
# set the public keyring to use
keyring c:\documents and settings\username\application
data\gnupg\some-other-pubring.gpg
#
# set the keyring to import keys into
primary-keyring c:\documents and settings\username\application
data\gnupg\some-keyring-to-import-to.gpg
#
# set the secret keyring to use
secret-keyring c:\documents and settings\username\application
data\gnupg\some-other-secring.gpg
#
# set the trustdb to use
trustdb-name c:\documents and settings\username\application
data\gnupg\some-other-trustdb.gpg
Note that on Windows paths are case insensitive, and unlike in the
registry, backslashes do not need to be escaped and paths with spaces in
them do not need to be quoted :)
