I do not know much about the GnuPG Shell product, as I am with the Gpg4win team. Note that you can redirect the result of the command in a new file like gpg2.exe --export-secret-keys >x.secretkey This should work will all GnuPG systems.

well that's all fine and good except that it gave me a bunch of gibberish that i can't use and no file that i can import to another front-end. want i was hoping for was something in the GnuPGShell that would create a file similar to the export public key function

When in doubt, use the command line like gpg2.exe --export-secret-keys

exporting private keys w/ GnuPG Shell v1.0 [ Reply ] By: P Sanf on 2009-09-11 04:24	[forum:1695]
hello everyone, i'm new to the whole PGP cryptography concept and i'm trying out various programs for use as GUI front-ends. one thing that i'm having a problem w/ is figuring out how to export a private key that i have generated so i can use it w/ another program (like gpg4usb) to decrypt things that i receive. i'm using vista, and i've tried clicking on Keys --> Secret Keyring on the menu bar, and then selecting my key and clicking the export icon, but it just give me the public key that i need to give other people to allow them to encrypt things they want to send me. does anyone out there think they might be able to help me w/ exporting my private/secret key?
