If you configure these volumes as system favorites, you will ensure that the <strong>network shares will be automatically restored </strong>by the operating system each time it is restarted. </li><li>You need each such volume to be mounted as <strong>the same drive letter </strong> each time the operating system starts. </li></ul> <p>Note that, unlike the regular (non-system) favorites, <strong>system favorite volumes use the pre-boot authentication password </strong>and, therefore, require your system partition/drive to be encrypted (also note it is not required to enable caching of the pre-boot authentication password). Moreover, since the pre-boot password is typed using <strong>US keyboard layout</strong> (BIOS requirement), the password of the system favorite volume must be entered during its creation process using the <strong>US keyboard layout</strong> by typing the same keyboard keys you type when you enter the pre-boot authentication password. If the password of the system favorite volume is not identical to the pre-boot authentication password under the US keyboard layout, then<strong> it will fail to mount</strong>.</p> <p>When creating a volume that you want to make a system favorite later, you must explicitly set the keyboard layout associated with VeraCrypt to US layout and you have to type the same keyboard keys you type when you enter the pre-boot authentication password.<br> <br> System favorite volumes <strong>can be configured to be available within VeraCrypt only to users with administrator privileges </strong>(select <em>Settings </em>> ‘<em>System Favorite Volumes</em>’ > ‘<em>Allow only administrators to view and dismount system favorite volumes in VeraCrypt</em>’). This option should be enabled on servers to ensure that system favorite volumes cannot be dismounted by users without administrator privileges. On non-server systems, this option can be used to prevent normal VeraCrypt volume actions (such as ‘<em>Dismount All</em>’, auto-dismount, etc.) from affecting system favorite volumes. In addition, when VeraCrypt is run without administrator privileges (the default on Windows Vista and later), system favorite volumes will not be displayed in the drive letter list in the main VeraCrypt application window.</p> <h3>To configure a VeraCrypt volume as a system 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 ‘<em>Add to System Favorites</em>’. </li><li>The System Favorites Organizer window should appear now. In this window, enable the option ‘<em>Mount system favorite volumes when Windows starts</em>’ and click <em>OK</em>. </li></ol> <p>The order in which system favorite volumes are displayed in the System Favorites Organizer window (<em>Favorites </em>> ‘<em>Organize System Favorite Volumes</em>’) is <strong>the order in which the volumes are mounted</strong>.
