Thank you! Your suggestion led me to the answer.

I missed the most important entry in my .emacs file:
(setq exec-path '("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GNU\\GnuPG"))
The file path has changed on my new computer
(setq exec-path '("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GnuPG\\bin"))
and now gpg.exe is in emacs's local exec-path.

This was the variable I couldn't figure out. TIL that you can tab-complete
in the middle of a variable too.

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'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.

That's the most recommended way.

That's very limitting indeed. In various GNU+Linux system distributions,
even the user-friendly ones such as Trisquel ([1]), allow each user to
have their own ${PATH}.
I cannot help you on solving Windows only-issues (not to be confused
with: Emacs or Org mode issues manifested in Windows), so I suggest you
to install a free/libre system distribution such as Trisquel ([1])
instead.

[O] emacs , windows, gpg, org-crypt
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 "")
;; 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.
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.
Can somebody give me a push?
