Favorite Volumes
Favorite volumes are useful, for example, in any the following cases:
You have a volume that always needs to be mounted to a particular drive letter.
You have a volume that needs to be automatically mounted when its host device gets
connected to the computer (for example, a container located on a USB flash drive or
external USB hard drive).
You have a volume that needs to be automatically mounted when you log on to the
operating system.
You have a volume that always needs to be mounted as read-only or removable medium.
To configure a VeraCrypt volume as a 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 VeraCrypt window and select
‘Add to Favorites’.
3.
The Favorite Volumes Organizer window should appear now. In this window, you can set
various options for the volume (see below).
4.
Click OK.
Favorite volumes can be mounted in several ways: To mount all favorite volumes, select
Favorites > Mount Favorite Volumes or press the ‘Mount Favorite Volumes’ hot key (Settings > Hot
Keys). To mount only one of the favorite volumes, select it from the list contained in the Favorites
menu. When you do so, you are asked for its password (and/or keyfiles) (unless it is cached) and if
it is correct, the volume is mounted. If it is already mounted, an Explorer window is opened for it.
Selected or all favorite volumes can be mounted automatically whenever you log on to
Windows. To set this up, follow these steps:
1.
Mount the volume you want to have mounted automatically when you log on (mount it 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 VeraCrypt window and select
‘Add to Favorites’.
3.
The Favorites Organizer window should appear now. In this window, enable the option
‘Mount selected volume upon logon’ and click OK.
Then, when you log on to Windows, you will be asked for the volume password (and/or keyfiles)
and if it is correct, the volume will be mounted.
Note: VeraCrypt will not prompt you for a password if you have enabled caching of the pre-boot
authentication password (Settings > ‘System Encryption’) and the volumes use the same password
as the system partition/drive.
