    Feature:
    To automatically boot into non-hidden volume (encrypted or not encrypted) after a configurable timeout period.

    Theroy behind it:
    For years I have always wished for TrueCrypt to have this feature. The reason behind it is, I like to have my laptop encrypted incase it's ever stolen or lost. The issue though, is if you are running revoery software on the laptop to try and find it if it's lost, the person who took the laptop can never get it running.

    I have always wanted it to be able to load a small windows instance where there are no use passwords, so a person that steals the laptop can get in without whiping the laptop and use it as if it's their own.

    This would also help with the Plausible Deniabilty too if it just boots into a windows for normal use without a password, so you can always say, I got this laptop from a friend and it's always been like that etc.

    Thanks
    John

      <config key="PasswordTimeout">0</config>
      

      Or use external USB with key. Pwd prompt is displayed if the USB is connected
