Include VeraCrypt Volume Creation Wizard
Check this option, if you need to create new VeraCrypt volumes using VeraCrypt run from the
traveler disk you will create. Unchecking this option saves space on the traveler disk.
AutoRun Configuration (autorun.inf)
In this section, you can configure the ‘traveler disk’ to automatically start VeraCrypt or mount a
specified VeraCrypt volume when the ‘traveler disk’ is inserted. This is accomplished by creating a
special script file called ‘autorun.inf’ on the traveler disk. This file is automatically executed by the
operating system each time the ‘traveler disk’ is inserted.
Note, however, that this feature only works for removable storage devices such as CD/DVD
(Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or a later version of Windows is required for this feature to
work on USB memory sticks) and only when it is enabled in the operating system. Depending on
the operating system configuration, these auto-run and auto-mount features may work only when
the traveler disk files are created on a non-writable CD/DVD-like medium (which is not a bug in
VeraCrypt but a limitation of Windows).
Also note that the ‘autorun.inf’ file must be in the root directory (i.e., for example G:\, X:\, or Y:\ etc.)
of an unencrypted disk in order for this feature to work.
