The required steps to create your own little putty heaven especially for multiple hosts.

Download [[http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe|PuTTY]] (you probably already have that), [[http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/pageant.exe|Pageant]] (the tool we are going to use) and [[http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/puttygen.exe|PuTTYgen]] (to create or convert your keys).

I'm assuming that you don't have any keys yet.

To create keys follow the steps in [[http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter8.html#pubkey-puttygen|the brilliant PuTTY manual]].

A nice solution for users who select their putty host by hand is: 

  C:\putty\pageant.exe "C:\PATHTOYOURKEY.ppk" -c C:\putty\putty.exe

THE thing that really makes this nice is a couple of shortcuts to your favorite hosts where the command looks like this:

  C:\putty\pageant.exe "C:\PATHTOYOURKEY.ppk" -c C:\putty\putty.exe -load PROFILENAME

Yay!
