TrueCrypt System Files & Application Data

Note: %windir% is the main Windows installation path (e.g., C:\WINDOWS)


The TrueCrypt driver:

%windir%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\truecrypt.sys  (32-bit Windows)
or:
%windir%\SysWOW64\drivers\truecrypt.sys  (64-bit Windows)

Note: This file is not present if TrueCrypt is run in 'traveler' mode.

 

TrueCrypt settings / application data:

The following files are saved in the folder where application data are normally saved on your system (for example, in C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\TrueCrypt\, where UserName is your Windows user name). In traveler mode, these files are saved to the folder from which you run the file TrueCrypt.exe (i.e., the folder in which TrueCrypt.exe resides). WARNING: Note that TrueCrypt does not encrypt those files (unless TrueCrypt encrypts the system partition/drive).

Configuration.xml

Original System Loader  (a backup of the original content of the first drive track made before the TrueCrypt Boot Loader was written to it).
Note: This file is absent if the system partition/drive has not been encrypted.

System Encryption.xml  (temporary configuration file used during the process of encryption/decryption of the system partition/drive).

Default Keyfiles.xml
Note: This file may be absent if the corresponding TrueCrypt feature is not used.

Favorite Volumes.xml
Note: This file may be absent if the corresponding TrueCrypt feature is not used.

History.xml  (the list of last twenty files/devices attempted to be mounted as TrueCrypt volumes or attempted to be used as hosts for TrueCrypt volumes; this feature can be disabled – for more information, see the subsection Never Save History in the chapter Main Program Window).
Note: This file may be absent if the corresponding TrueCrypt feature is not used.
