You should also move the trustdb to the pendrive. First copy it then add the following line to gpg.conf: --trustdb-name /path/to/pendrive/trustdb.gpg >> > > I wonder about the gpg.conf file: > Is it used at all in Windows?

That expands to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\GnuPG". You should probably store gpg.conf on your pen drive and choose one of the methods below for overriding the default - that way, you are taking the complete environment with you on the pen drive. There are three ways of changing it. In increasing priority 1) Use Regedit.exe, navigate to the key HKCU\Software\Gnu\GnuPG and change the HomeDir value 2) set the environment variable GNUPGHOME 3) include --homedir /path/to/pendrive/ on the commnd line each time you invoke gpg This totally portable environment is the approach used by the GPG2GO project. See http://www.angelfire.com/mb2/mbgpg2go/tp.html That sounds like a template gpg.conf. I know one like that ships with the Cygwin implementation.
