Can someone please explain to me exactly how to increase the size of the keypool in bitcoin-qt? I've tried messing around creating a .conf file but can't get it to work and I've decided it would be a lot quicker to ask somebody who knows how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

I'm not sure if there's a way to increase an existing wallet's pool size using the default client or if this works in the debug console, but I know you can use the flag -keypool=n via commandline to generate a new wallet with the specified number of keys.

That's fine, I can create a new wallet and import my old keys. I just want to have a larger keypool so that I don't have create new backups very often. How do I run that command in windows?
