Notes about the GPG file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The GPG file type is primarily associated with 'GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG)' by Free Software Foundation, Inc.. GnuPG itself is a command line tool without any graphical stuff. It is the crypto engine which can be used directly from a command prompt, from shell scripts or by other programs. Therefore it can be considered as a backend for other applications. It is a full OpenPGP implementation (see RFC2440).
