Copy gpg.conf (if it exists) and the three .gpg files (pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, trustdb.gpg) from %APPDATA%\GnuPG on the old machine to the new machine. %APPDATA% usually expands to (subject to any localization) C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data Running 'gpg--version' on the old machine will tell the location of the present keys. (Home: ......) Running 'gpg--version' on the new machine will create the directory as well as show the location. -- John P.
