Actually I was expecting help from you! ;-)

I tried them all.

Didn't think I had to. IIRC there was a save button. I clicked on that 
and saved whatever it saved. I don't recall it saying what part it would 
save.

Yes I did assume it would save it somewhere. If you use ssh-keygen it 
does save it somewhere (~/.ssh by default). As I said, I don't use putty 
so I have no idea how it works. Where am I supposed to save it? How does 
putty then later find it and use it?
