Hi,

My system:
Windows XP Home SP2
GnuPG 1.4.5

I wish to have GnuPG automatically use the cipher algo TWOFISH and hash algo
RIPEMD-160 for all keys that are created.

I have these settings in my "gpg.conf":
cipher-algo TWOFISH
digest-algo RIPEMD160
s2k-cipher-algo TWOFISH
s2k-digest-algo RIPEMD160

But when I create a new key and use "showpref" I find the key is using the
cipher AES256 and the hash SHA1.

Is it possible to make all keys use TWOFISH and RIPEMD-160 by default?

Also, is there a batch command that will automatically process the "setpref"
command after "gpg --edit-key {key}" is processed? I tried using
the following batch file but it prompts to "Command>" after processing "gpg
--edit-key {key}":

---
cd "C:\Program Files\GnuPG"

gpg --edit-key {key}

setpref S10 S9 S3 H3 H10 H9 Z2 Z1
---

Thank you,
Anothony
