If there is no gpg.conf file in your old home directory, C:\GnuPG, it
could be under the old name 'options' or somethinf similar.

It not, there are instructions on the Enigmail GnuG for Windows users page
(http://enigmail.mozdev.org/gpgconf.html).

Run the installer again and iconv.dll will be restored. or download it
fron the GnuPG.org ftp site

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/libiconv-1.9.1.dll.zip     (644k)
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/libiconv-1.9.1.dll.zip.sig

See above regarding iconv.dll. A starter gpg.conf would be:

default-key 0xDecafBAD		<--- replace with YOUR key ID
default-recipient-self
keyserver random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve include-subkeys include-revoked
no-secmem-warning
