Selected or all favorite volumes can be mounted automatically whenever its host device gets connected to the computer. To set this up, 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 when its host device gets connected ’ and click
OK .
Then, when you insert e.g. a USB flash drive on which a TrueCrypt volume is located into the USB
port, you will be asked for the volume password (and/or keyfiles) (unless it is cached) and if it is
correct, the volume will be mounted.
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 volume uses the same password
as the system partition/drive.
A special label can be assigned to each favorite volume . This label is not the same as the
filesystem label and it is shown within the TrueCrypt user interface instead of the volume path. To
assign such a label, follow these steps:
1. Select
Favorites > ‘
Organize Favorite Volumes ’.
2. The Favorite Volumes Organizer window should appear now. In this window, select the
volume whose label you want to edit.
3. Enter the label in the ‘
Label of selected favorite volume ’ input field and click OK.
Note that the Favorite Volumes Organizer window (
Favorites > ‘
Organize Favorite Volumes ’)
allows you to
set various other options for each favorite volume . For example, any of them can
be mounted as read-only or as removable medium. To set any of these options, follow these steps:
1. Select
Favorites > ‘
Organize Favorite Volumes ’.
2. The Favorite Volumes Organizer window should appear now. In this window, select the
volume whose options you want to set.
3. Set the options and click OK.
The order in which system favorite volumes are displayed in the Favorites Organizer window
(
