The title says it all. Basically, I want to unmount a TrueCrypt volume when the USB stick with the keyfile on it is removed (and, ideally, shut down the computer as well).

There used to be a program that does that (Truemounter http://www.truemounter.de/) but it seems to be abandoned and apparently didn't work properly under Windows 7 anyway.

Any ideas?

  • If all else fails, you can write a script/program that periodically checks for existence of the keyfile (cmd.exe, Python, etc).

USB Safely Remove has such a feature: it can start a program when a USB device is removed.

Another USB Safely Remove feature that distinguishes it from similar software is starting any applications not only after connecting a device, but also before removing it. The autorun feature allows you to set up data backup before disconnecting a removable hard drive, to run Total Commander with the contents of the pen-drive, automatically unmount an encrypted TrueCrypt drive before disconnecting the USB media, etc.

USB Safely Remove works great on Windows 7 (also in 64-bits).
