Hi,

I'm new to the list, so I apologize if these have been asked before, but I 
can't find the answers on google (or I'm asking incorrectly).

1) I've installed everything and can encrypt files. However, there is no right 
click-> decrypt option. The only way I can decrypt is going to the command 
prompt and typing in "gpg *.gpg" then the password etc. Is there a way to do 
this via the gui?

2) To play with the keys, I exported my keys and reimported them. Everything 
worked except it would know longer ask me for my password. When I tried to 
change the password the log would show a crash. The only way I found around 
this was rebooting and then changing the password.

3) To permanently revoke a certificate (I export one as soon as I make a key 
just in case), all I need to do is import and then "send to key server"? I did 
it once and now my old certificate comes out red. Simply importing is not 
enough correct?

4) Is there a way to delete revoked certificates from hkp://keys.gnupg.net?

5) I see in .gnupg the files private-keys-v1.d and.gpg. Which one is the actual 
private key? Is it encrypted itself? I see that the text is clear not my 
passphrase but if my laptop gets lost/stolen can someone just copy that file 
over to their computer and then decrypt all of my files?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards,
Greg R.
