start and before users start logging on

There are network-shared folders located on TrueCrypt volumes. If you configure these 
volumes as system favorites, you will ensure that the 
network shares will be 
automatically restored
by the operating system each time it is restarted. 
•
You need each such volume to be mounted as 
the same drive letter
each time the 
operating system starts.
Note that, unlike the regular (non-system) favorites, 
system favorite volumes use the pre-boot 
authentication password
and, therefore, require your system partition/drive to be encrypted (also 
note it is not required to enable caching of the pre-boot authentication password). 
System favorite volumes 
can be configured to be
available within TrueCrypt only to users 
with administrator privileges
(select 
Settings
> ‘
System Favorite Volumes
’ > ‘
Allow only 
administrators to view and dismount system favorite volumes in TrueCrypt
’). This option should be 
enabled on servers to ensure that system favorite volumes cannot be dismounted by users without 
administrator privileges. On non-server systems, this option can be used to prevent normal 
TrueCrypt volume actions (such as ‘
Dismount All
’, auto-dismount, etc.) from affecting system 
favorite volumes. In addition, when TrueCrypt is run without administrator privileges (the default on 
Windows Vista and later), system favorite volumes will not be displayed in the drive letter list in the 
main TrueCrypt application window. 
 
 
To configure a TrueCrypt volume as a system favorite volume, 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
.
The order in which system favorite volumes are displayed in the System Favorites Organizer 
window (
Favorites
> ‘
Organize System Favorite Volumes
’) is
