Difficulty: Challenging

1. Batch decrypting with GnuPG by first assessing whether your computer has a current and working version of GNU GPG installed. You should also make sure you have a pass code or pass phrase that will work with GNU GPG.
2. Look for the command prompt for GnuPG when batch decrypting with GnuPG. For Windows, you can find this by going to either Start/Run or CMD.
3. Search for the directory that contains the files you wish to decrypt when batch decrypting with GnuPG.
4. Enter this command to batch decrypt with GnuPG: "echo [thisismypassphrase]|gpg --passphrase-fd 0--decrypt-files *.gpg." You may have to use different file extensions if your files are "*.pgp" or "*.asc."
