It's not all that different. C:\Documents and Settings\<username> is now C:\User\<username>. "Application Data" is now AppData. The change is the addition at the next level of several directories to group data: Local, LocalLow, Roaming. GnuPG's application directory will be in Roaming. Running "gpg --version" at a command line prompt should confirm that.

Locate GnuPG's HOME directory. The default on Vista (and I believe Windows 7) will be C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\. Running gpg.exe with the --version switch will confirm this - just look for the line starting Home:. Copy/move idea.dll to there. > I've also changed the registry: > > [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GNUPG] > OptFile=C:\\Program Files\\GNU\\GnuPG\\options You can safely delete that addition. I don't think anything uses that registry value any longer. > How in the world am I supposed to get this dll loaded? In the same directory to where you copied idea.dll, use Notepad to create a text file named gpg.conf. Include the line load-extension .\idea.dll You may include other options in gpg.conf as well, but that line is what you're looking for. Running "gpg --version" again should show IDEA as an available cipher algorithm. Feel free to ask any Enigmail questions on the Enigmail list, enigm...@mozdev.org. Good luck. -- John P.
