Hi,

is it possible to directly get a password promt when I double click a .hc file on Windows?
If not I guess I have to use a command line. However I couldn't get it to work.
For example I would like to mount C:\folder\file.hc to the first available drive letter when double clicking a shortcut.

Help would be awesome!

If you create a shortcut on your desktop (right-click on your desktop, select New, left-click Shortcut) and put in the following line:

veracrypt /v C:\folder\file.hc /q /nowaitdlg

that should do it. (Left-click Next, and name it whatever you like.)

Thank you!
I had to change it a bit to get it to work:
"C:\Program Files\VeraCrypt\VeraCrypt.exe" /v C:\File.hc /q /e

/e for auto open explorer, wait dlg I find handy
