TrueCrypt volume that uses the same password as my system partition/drive (i.e. my pre- boot authentication password)? Yes. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Mount the volume (to the drive letter to which you want it to be mounted every time). 2. Right-click the mounted volume in the drive list in the main TrueCrypt window and select ‘ Add to System Favorites
’. 3. The System Favorites Organizer window should appear now. In this window, enable the option ‘ Mount system favorite volumes when Windows starts
’ and click OK
. For more information, see the chapter ‘ System Favorite Volumes
’. Can a volume be automatically mounted whenever I log on to Windows? Yes. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Mount the volume (to the drive letter to which you want it to be mounted every time). 2. Right-click the mounted volume in the drive list in the main TrueCrypt window and select ‘ Add to Favorites
’. 3. The Favorites Organizer window should appear now. In this window, enable the option ‘ Mount selected volume upon logon
’ and click OK
. Then, when you log on to Windows, you will be asked for the volume password (and/or keyfiles) and if it is correct, the volume will be mounted. Alternatively, if the volumes are partition/device-hosted and if you do not need to mount them to particular drive letters every time, you can follow these steps: 1. Select Settings
> Preferences
. The Preferences window should appear now. 2. In the section ‘ Actions to perform upon logon to Windows
’, enable the option ‘ Mount all
devices-hosted TrueCrypt volumes’
and click OK
. Note: TrueCrypt will not prompt you for a password if you have enabled caching of the pre-boot authentication password ( Settings
> ‘ System Encryption
’) and the volumes use the same password as the system partition/drive.
