[MLO] FYI: MLO on USB-Stick with TrueCrypt & Portable Start Menu

[Thomas Krueger]

To not worry about private data it's possible to put the MLO file into
a TrueCrypt container on a USB stick. The opening of the container can
be combined with the autorun Portable Start Menu (on Windows
machines). Works fine.

From the help file of PSMenu:
Portable Start Menu can automatically mount and dismount a TrueCrypt
container on your USB-Stick or hard disk. All drive letters to that
container are adjusted automatically, that means that you can use
absolute drive letters within the PSMenu user interface.

Disadvantage with tc is, that you need admin privileges for the first
time you try to mount the tc container. For me a difficulty to run
this solution at work.
An alternative is bcarchive from jetico. Also like a container. By
opening the mlo file it is copied to the temp directory and if you
close it, it will be wiped (overwritten for security reasons).
Bcarchive works also from a thumb drive. You only have to install it
on any pc at will and copy the exe files to your thumb drive. Now you
can use it on any windows system without having admin privileges.
