PuTTY also requires a random number seed file, to improve the
unpredictability of randomly chosen data needed as part of the SSH
cryptography. This is stored by default in your Windows home
directory (\c{%HOMEDRIVE%\\%HOMEPATH%}), or in the actual Windows
directory (such as \c{C:\\WINDOWS}) if the home directory doesn't
exist, for example if you're using Win95. If you want to change the
location of the random number seed file, you can put your chosen
pathname in the Registry, at
cryptography. This is stored by default in a file called \i\c{PUTTY.RND}
in your Windows home directory (\c{%HOMEDRIVE%\\%HOMEPATH%}), or in
the actual Windows directory (such as \c{C:\\WINDOWS}) if the home
directory doesn't exist, for example if you're using Win95. If you
want to change the location of the random number seed file, you can
