Mounting TrueCrypt Volumes 
If you have not done so yet, please read the sections ‘Mount‘ and ‘Auto-Mount Devices‘ in the 
chapter Main Program Window. 
 
Cache Password in Driver Memory 
This option can be set in the password entry dialog so that it will apply only to that particular mount 
attempt. It can also be set as default in the Preferences. For more information, please see the 
section Settings -> Preferences, subsection Cache passwords in driver memory. 
 
Mount Options 
Mount options affect the parameters of the volume being mounted. The Mount Options dialog can 
be opened by clicking on the Mount Options button in the password entry dialog. When a correct 
password is cached, volumes are automatically mounted after you click Mount. If you need to 
change mount options for a volume being mounted using a cached password, hold down the 
Control (Ctrl) key while clicking Mount or a favorite volume in the Favorites menu, or select Mount 
with Options from the Volumes menu.
Default mount options can be configured in the main program preferences (Settings -> 
Preferences).
