   I can send you the gpg manual which came with the software, and other
manuals and howto's I have downloaded...  downloaded them from gnupg
site, so it would be the same if you download then from there... unless
you find the server with some of the howto's down, as happened to me
several times... I don't know if it is usual that problem, or if I had a
lot of bad luck (every server must be restarted or upgraded from time to
time). The documents included with gpg, if zipped, use about 160 kb, and
some other plain text files, zipped, use about 61 kb, send an email to
me, and I will send them to you.

  Yes, the purpose of gpg.conf is to set some preferences, which
overrides the environment variables or registry settings (if I
understood it right). And it should be stored in the same folder where
you have the gpg.exe file. If I am not wrong, the home dir is used to
tell gpg where to find the keyrings... provided it finds them (and
override any wrong setting), at least gpg should work (if I am not
wrong, as I said, I am not an expert). About Enigmail, that is really
black magic for me... I mean, I have learned some basic settings, but if
something strange happens, I don't know how to fix it...

  Exactly the same PortableApps do... except to modify the way you see
windows in the machine you are using... I wonder if is it possible to
switch from u3 thunderbird to portable thunderbird... in any event, you
would need to export everything stored in u3 thunderbird, and if the
portable version work, you can import stored messages and address book...

  By the way, I forgot how did your problems begin... did you tried
using the batch file from the beginning, or after something didn't work?

  If you can get gpg to work, then you can manually adjust the path in
enigmail's config to it... and gpg.exe should not care about its own
path, as far as it can find the keyrings... (as far as I know, again,  I
can be wrong about that).

 Best Regards...
