Er....  Chalk My confusion up to the tendency to express 'unconscious
competence' but why not merely 'click' the X in the upper Right corner
or use Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl+W or File >> Close (Ctrl+W)?  Then You
need to Open OpenPGP Preferences and check to ascertain that Enigmail
has the correct Path to gpg.exe.  I am going to make a 'leap' here and
also make an ass out of U & Me by assuming that You also do not yet have
a gpg.conf File.  Please feel free to Email Me direct with any
Questions.  John W. Moore III (Enigmail Team)

Hope that I can assist You in feeling comfortable with Enigmail.  :)
