You probably set the GNUPGHOME variable to that directory.  To see the
actually used directories use

  gpgconf --list-dirs

This is percent escaped and thus the c:/ looks a bit uncommon.

Keys go the the user specific directory.

The pub directory has symlinks (well kind of; they are wrapper binaries)
to the actual programs in the directory above.  This is to avoid
cluttering the PATH search space with too many helper programs and DLLs.


Shalom-Salam,
