git - SSH is looking in the wrong place for the public/private key pair on Windows -

I am trying to configure GIT on my Windows XP machine, but the SSH is building a public / private key pair Looking for non-sensitive places, for example /.ssh/id_rsa

Is there a configuration file in GIT installation for Windows, where I define it in my home directory, or any other user Can I change in place? By default, it offers to make new key pairs on //.ssh/id_rsa, but this did not make me the "directory", "SIS" returns error. " And when I find a directory, I can make it, GIT does not look there.

How to set up my home directory manually in Windows XP:

1. Right click "My Computer"
2. Select the "Advanced" tab
3. Click "Home" in "Variable Name".
4. Under the "System variables" section, click "New"
6. Enter the "variable value" path of your profile.

To do this by command prompt:

  setx HOME "Your \ path \ to \ home"
