As far as I know, there are currently two active Win32 GnuPG GUI front ends
available:

GPGshell
http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/gpgshell.html

WinPT
http://www.winpt.org/

Many people have commented that WinPT *should* be the official Win32 GnuPG
frontend.  Unfortunately, it looks like the WinPT site is currently
experiencing difficulties.  Hey Timo! -- What's going on?
