I would really appreciate if you would add better support for Truecrypt 6.1 ...
When I first start Geek.Menu with TC6.1 the TC Volume mounts but Geek.Menu just says it couldn't launch the Volume (Timeout).
I know I could just turn on "Assume TC mounted if driver letter is present" and then it will work if I start Geek.Menu twice but this way is really annoying.

You can manually replace the truecrypt 4.3 that is installed with geek.menu. I usually just make a copy of the old truecrypt directory on the usb disk and then replace the existing truecrypt files with the 6.1 versions. I don't use the installer to update geek.menu. I manually copy the updated files.
I don't remember if I needed to recreate the truecrypt volume or not when I first updated to 5 and then 6 but it may be necessary. I think the structure of the containers is different. You can test it by launching truecrypt and trying to mount your old volume. If they are diffferent you will need to copy everything off and recreate the drive.

Could you maybe read my hole post next time before posting an answer???
Thx, Overlord

I have a BAT that launches TC6.1, sign-in, launches KeePass, sign-in, launches GM (with the 'Assume' option), and starts FFP3. I've yet to have an issue with any version of TC.
Maybe that could work a possible workaround for ya.

It shouldn't necessarily format the current volume, what if I am working of my C:/ drive for example bad.
