TrueCrypt

This option turns on geek.menu's support for integrating applications from an encrypted TrueCrypt volume. This is highly recommended for the security conscious, although it does require administrative privileges. It is possible to run with TrueCrypt support on some computers, and without on other computers (see the Behavior on unknown Computers Topic in the Menu Tab help screen)

This is the path to the TrueCrypt File that will be mounted as a drive by geek.menu. TrueCrypt is sensitive as to the exact syntax of this location, so it is recommended that you select this path by clicking on the button to the right of this edit box.

This is the path to the TrueCrypt program file. It defaults to \TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe, which is the correct path as geek.menu is installed. If you have moved the files, change the value entered here. TrueCrypt is sensitive as to the exact syntax of this location, so it is recommended that you select this path by clicking on the button to the right of this edit box.

If you would like additional security (beyond password protection) for your TrueCrypt volume, you can add Keyfile protection as well. For more information on how Keyfiles work, read the TrueCrypt documentation.

If you are using one of the methods that will run geek.menu without it's encrypted content, or if you click on the checkbox of the password dialog to do so, you can select a different theme so that there is an immediate visual difference. To do this, select a different theme from the dropdown displayed.

If you select a drive letter from this drop down box, geek.menu will always attempt to mount the TrueCrypt Volume to this drive letter. If the drive letter already exists (or if you blank out this field), geek.menu will use the next available drive letter.

Use this option to override the behavior described above. If this option is checked, geek.menu will assume that a mounted drive with the same letter as your Preferred TrueCrypt drive letter is your TrueCrypt drive. This option is useful for testing and development, but should probably not be used in production.

If you want TrueCrypt to remember your password and keyfile information from previous mounts between reboots, you can check this option. NB: This significantly decreases the security of the TrueCrypt volume on computers where geek.menu has been run previously.
