Version Information

Tools -> Traveler Disk Setup 
You can use this facility to prepare a special traveler disk and launch TrueCrypt from there. Note 
that TrueCrypt ‘traveler disk’ is 
not
a TrueCrypt volume but an 
unencrypted
volume. A ‘traveler 
disk’ contains TrueCrypt executable files and optionally the ‘autorun.inf’ script (see the section 
AutoRun Configuration
below). After you select 
Tools -> Traveler Disk Setup
, the 
Traveler Disk 
Setup
dialog box should appear. Some of the parameters that can be set within the dialog deserve 
further explanation:

Include TrueCrypt Volume Creation Wizard 
Check this option, if you need to create new TrueCrypt volumes using TrueCrypt run from the 
traveler disk you will create. Unchecking this option saves space on the traveler disk. 
 
AutoRun Configuration (autorun.inf) 
 
In this section, you can configure the ‘traveler disk’ to automatically start TrueCrypt or mount a 
specified TrueCrypt volume when the ‘traveler disk’ is inserted. This is accomplished by creating a 
special script file called ‘
autorun.inf
’ on the traveler disk. This file is automatically executed by the 
operating system each time the ‘traveler disk’ is inserted.
Note, however, that this feature only works for removable storage devices such as CD/DVD 
(Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or a later version of Windows is required for this feature to 
work on USB memory sticks) and only when it is enabled in the operating system. Depending on 
the operating system configuration, these auto-run and auto-mount features may work only when 
the traveler disk files are created on a non-writable CD/DVD-like medium (which is not a bug in 
TrueCrypt but a limitation of Windows).
Also note that the ‘
autorun.inf
’ file must be in the root directory (i.e., for example 
G:\
, 
X:\
, or 
Y:\
etc.)
