Hello Patrick,

You can add --homedir everytime to the gpg command which is somewhat a pain

On *nix systems, you can define the environment variable GNUPGHOME, either
on a system-wide basis in /etc/profile or, preferably, a per-user basis in
~/.profile.

On a Windows system, you use the Registry editor (regedt32 or regedit) to
change the value of HomeDir located under the HKCU\Software\GNU\GNUPG key
