From the manpage:

--homedir directory
          Set  the  name  of  the  home  directory to directory If this
          option is not used it defaults to  "~/.gnupg".  It  does  not
          make sense to use this in a options file. This also overrides
          the environment variable $GNUPGHOME.

However, the "best" fix on Windows is in the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GnuPG]
"HomeDir"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Username\\Application Data\\GnuPG"
"OptFile"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Username\\Application
Data\\GnuPG\\gpg.conf"
