You might want to take Kitchen Sink with you fully encrypted.

If you place a .bat (batch file) in the directory of where TrueCrypt.exe, TrueCrypt Format.exe, truecrypt-x64.sys and truecrypt.sys plus the newly created container file, it will reduce any need for tedious mouse movements. In the .bat file paste:::

@ECHO OFF
Set Drive=T
REM Change this to the created volume.
Set Path="volume.tc"
REM If this is not in the same directory then specify the absolute path. E.G. C:\Docs\TrueCrypt.exe
Set TrueCrypt="TrueCrypt.exe"
REM If this is not in the same directory then specify the absolute path. E.G. C:\Docs\EjectUSB.exe
Set EjectUSB="EjectUSB.exe"

IF EXIST %Drive%: GoTo Dismount
GOTO Mount

:Dismount
REM Delete REM below to enable EjectUSB.exe
REM START /WAIT %EjectUSB% %Drive%:\
%TrueCrypt% /d %Drive% /f /w /q /s
Exit

:Mount
%TrueCrypt% /v /l %Drive% %Path% /m rm /m ts /q /e

::When you click on the batch file it will automatically show the password box. To safely dismount double-click the batch file.
I suggest adding EjectUSB (www.ejectusb.com) to the directory and specifying the path. This will ensure any applications that are open are closed.

Cheers, I am going to be paying more attention to your site from now on. I have thoroughly enjoyed your additions to the cafe.ini file something that i had no patience in doing. I have added PeaZip too my usb drive but currently it's down as the alternative option in the cafe.ini. What do you think of this PEM (http://freewarewire.blogspot.com/2009/06/pem-pure-enigmatic-magic.html) I don't think it has anything on C.A.F.E. but who knows!!

Plus I hope you have included Dropbox Portable in this new verison!

Thanks! I posted to PFW forums but go no response -- its great to know someone's gotten some use out of that.

All I have to say is WOW. There is an OSS clone of CAFE called Coffee in the Lupo Pensuite. I don't know where they got it from or of its from their system. Anyway, I'll check that out.

Unfortunately I am only including things that have been accepted (with a few minor exceptions) to the PFW site. Otherwise I get complaints.

But you better believe I'm going to check that out. I *love* dropbox.

Thanks again!
