<title>VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid</title>
<meta name="description" content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."/>

<p>Favorite volumes are useful, for example, in any the following cases:</p>
<ul>
<li>You have a volume that always needs to be <strong>mounted to a particular drive letter</strong>.
</li><li>You have a volume that needs to be <strong>automatically mounted when its host device gets connected to the computer
</strong>(for example, a container located on a USB flash drive or external USB hard drive).
</li><li>You have a volume that needs to be <strong>automatically mounted when you log on
</strong>to the operating system. </li><li>You have a volume that always needs to be <strong>mounted as read-only </strong>
or removable medium. </li></ul>

+<strong>Note: </strong>Please refer to <a href="Issues%20and%20Limitations.html">Known Issues and Limitations</a> section for issues that may affect favorite volumes when Windows "Fast Startup" feature is enabled.

<h3>To configure a VeraCrypt volume as a favorite volume, follow these steps:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Mount the volume (to the drive letter to which you want it to be mounted every time).
</li><li>Right-click the mounted volume in the drive list in the main VeraCrypt window and select &lsquo;<em>Add to Favorites</em>&rsquo;.
</li><li>The Favorite Volumes Organizer window should appear now. In this window, you can set various options for the volume (see below).
</li><li>Click <em>OK</em>. </li></ol>
<strong>Favorite volumes can be mounted in several ways: </strong>To mount all favorite volumes, select
<em>Favorites </em>&gt; <em>Mount Favorite Volumes </em>or press the &lsquo;<em>Mount Favorite Volumes</em>&rsquo; hot key (<em>Settings
</em>&gt; <em>Hot Keys</em>). To mount only one of the favorite volumes, select it from the list contained in the
<em>Favorites </em>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.
<h3>Selected or all favorite volumes can be mounted automatically whenever you log on to Windows</h3>
<p>To set this up, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>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).
</li><li>Right-click the mounted volume in the drive list in the main VeraCrypt window and select &lsquo;<em>Add to Favorites</em>&rsquo;.
</li><li>The Favorites Organizer window should appear now. In this window, enable the option &lsquo;<em>Mount selected volume upon logon</em>&rsquo; and click
<em>OK</em>. </li></ol>
<p>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.<br>

Note: VeraCrypt will not prompt you for a password if you have enabled caching of the pre-boot authentication password (<em>Settings
