Yes, GnuPG can do this. I brought this upin this forum a dew months ago,
and Werner made the changes to GnuPG. In order for this to work, your
registry keys that contain the environment strings need to be of the
type REG_EXPAND_SZ (I think this is only available in REGEDT32.EXE on
Windows NT/2000/XP).
