Install GnuPG (ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe) to
'C:\GnuPG\' then open Settings in Privacy Plugin and locate gpg.exe in GnuPG
directory.
Have fun.

Afterwards press WIN + R to get to the RUN-Dialogue:
Type 'cmd' and press OK.
Then a command-line windows pops up.
There you type 'cd C:\GnuPG\' press Enter
Afterwards you type 'gpg --gen-key' press Enter
Now some options are available the first option is standard, so press '1' if
you just want to try encrypting a message.
Now it asks you for a length of the key, for test purposes 1024 bit is enough,
the longer the key the more secure (for now) it is.
In the following you have to decide how long the key stays valid
3d = 3 days
3m = 3 month
3y = 3 years
and so on.
Decide yourself.
Type it in and press Enter afterwards and j/y again if it was alright.
Now type in your Name, your mail adress and a comment, when gpg asks for it.
Type 'O' for okay and press Enter.
Now you should choose a passphrase only you can know.
Try to make a sentence with numbers and capital letters like this one.
Obama got 4 more years!
That would be a password like: Og4my!
For the beginning a good one, but too short. Try one with at least 12-16
characters.
Now gpg generates a key for you.
If it is ready, open the Outlook Privacy Plugin settings again and choose
'Compose' and downunder you see a dropdown field which says 'Default Key'.
Here you should see your name and your E-Mail-adress, click on it and then
click 'Ok'.
Ready.
You can now encrypt/decrypt messegaes in the Compose New Message/Opened
Encrypted Message windows on the right-hand side.
Good luck.
