PGPPATH

The first time you start PGP, the software checks to see if the environment variable PGPPATH is defined. If PGPPATH is defined, the software puts the PGP preferences file, keyring files, pgp.cfg, and the randseed file in the %PGPPATH% directory.

USERPROFILE

If PGPPATH is not defined, the software checks to see if the environment variable USERPROFILE is defined. If USERPROFILE is defined, the software puts the files in the %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\pgp directory.

If USERPROFILE is not defined, the software puts the files in %SYSTEMROOT%\pgp.

The randseed file is always placed in the %SYSTEMROOT% directory on Windows NT, and "%PGPPATH%/randseed.rnd" on UNIX.
