As a follow-up, I checked the GPG4Win compendium and chapter 18 says I
should be able to do this using Kleopatra.  Here's the URL:

http://www.gpg4win.org/doc/en/gpg4win-compendium_24.html

In the subsection "Decrypting a file" it shows a screenshot immediately
after some text that says I can choose Decrypt and verify in the Windows
Explorer context menu.
