Where to store putty generated key file?

I am trying to get TortoiseGIT to stop nagging me to enter a password every time. I've generated a public key, I've added that key to GitHub and I've generated the keyfile.

  1. Where do I store the key file?
  2. What other steps am I missing to allow me to not have to enter my password each time?

UPDATE

I would still like to know the answer, but ultimately this solved my problem: http://www.munsplace.com/blog/2012/07/27/saving-username-and-password-with-tortoisegit/

I solved it using this. Basically, in Windows 8 you can create a file called _netrc which seems to store general passwords.

You can use PuTTY Pageant authentication agent and load the private key into it. TortoiseGIT should be able to make use of it.
