This is an extra convenience added by the GUI program. It is not in the command line interface. > Gpg2 –batch –recipient /xxxxx / –encrypt-files –armor C:\Location\*.txt The simplest way is to follow this by > del C:\Location\*.txt but this introduces a race condition. So it's probably better to do something like for x in C:\Location\*.txt gpg2 ... --encrypt $x del $x next However, it's been many years since I last did anything with MS-DOS/Windows batch files and I don't have the correct syntax ready. It needs to bail out when gpg2 errors, but that is way beyond my limited recollection of batch files. Oh, and when building a gpg command line, you're supposed to put options before the command. However, it does try to cope with people putting options after the command. (And in the quote above, my e-mail client ended up putting an en-dash where there should be two ascii dashes, which kinda spoils the didactic value.) I'd suggest the following command line: > gpg2 --batch --recipient XX --armour --encrypt-files C:\Location\*.txt I see you're mailing from a .UK address, so I thought I could point out armour can be spelled with British spelling as well :-). --armor works just as well.
