Greetings.

I set this all up years ago, I just got a new computer, I'm not an expert
with Windows, and I've been unable to find my problem with Google.

I have Windows 10, I have emacs, I have Org 9.0.3 (yes, I need to update),
and I have GPG4Win.  I have entries in my .emacs file:

     (require 'org-crypt)
     (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic)
     (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote ("crypt")))
     [...]
     (setq org-crypt-key "xxxxxxxx")
       ;; GPG key to use for encryption
     [...]
     (global-set-key "\C-cd" 'org-decrypt-entry)
     (global-set-key "\C-ce" 'org-encrypt-entry)

But when I try to decrypt something, I get this error:

  Searching for program: no such file or directory, gpg

The only responses I can find are to add gpg to my %PATH% , but
I don't think my employer's GPO will let me.

There is a machine/system %PATH% and a Current User %PATH%.

Normally GPOs will block you from modifying the system %PATH% but

allow you to change the User Path.  This may be an option.

I was hoping to find a place in org-crypt where "gpg" is defined so that
I can specify a full path instead, but as yet, I haven't found it.

I'd take a look at ~C-h v -gpg TAB~ -> possible suggestion is

epg-gpg-program which points to "gpg" by default.

~org-encrypt-string~ uses epg for encryption purposes so changing

that program path should fix the issue.

Can somebody give me a push?
