Thanks John, In MacOSX or in Ubuntu, I know how to open and edit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf, where gpg.conf is a text file where from gpg reads its options. I have done it many times, when required. But in Windows, there's something called gpg.conf.exe, which to my still much limited knowledge of Windows, is an executable file, and I have no idea how to actually open it.

I would gladly do that, if I only could comment or delete the load-extension line about the wrapper (which should be required, I believe, for the use of smart cards?) > >> 3.

Even with a very limited knowledge of Unix, I can manage with cli in MacOSX or Ubuntu, but in Windows almost everything I try comes out with 'not known' or a similar output. > >> I know I have made quite a mess, so I apologize to the list. > > No apologies required. Well, gnupg-users is not the appropriate forum for this kind of queries. I am not really a Windows user, nor intend to be. I believe I have already indicated in a previous post that I am running Windows XP Pro, or Ubuntu under a virtualisation program named Parallels Mac, that interacts between Windows or Linux (or for that matter, some other OSs too) and my Intel based computer processor.
