Hi again,
I found that Gustavo Vasconcelos has sent a similar idea to WinPTusers:

"I was thinking about another
change in directory structure, like placing  the Keyring files in
C:\Documents and Settings\{User}\Application data\GnuPG\Keyrings, and
point the keyrings at %HOMEPATH%\Application data\GnuPG\Keyrings. So
every user in the machine would have its own keyring without confusing
GnuPG."

Yours,
Per Tunedal

Hi,
I would like to use two instances of GPG simultaneously:
* one for casual encryption/verifying with the keyrings on the harddisk.
* one for mor important uses with the keyrings on an external media.
