    Hello,
    Forgive me, I do not write correctly in English.
    In Windows 10.
    I created a password protected volume AND a key file.
    When I want to open the volume, and I click on "key file", windows displays the location of the "key file" !!!
    Which is easy for anyone to know where he is!
    How to prevent windows from remembering the access path?
    Thank you.

    I think you are having this problem because you have set a 'default keyfile' (using Settings > Default Keyfiles... ), which operates with any volume you create, rather than an individual keyfile for your volume.

      Adrian, thank you very much for your help.
      No, I did not set a default keyfile.
      It's more stupid.
      For the test, I had placed the keyfile in "document".
      And by default, Windows goes into "document" as soon as we indicate the presence of a keyfile after the password ...
      So, everything is fine (for the moment).

    Glad to hear you have sorted out your issue, and thanks for posting the solution, as it will help others. (PS I normally appear on this forum as Adrian Kentleton (my real name), but I've had to create a new alias account, because whenever I've tried to login recently with my normal account, I get a '500' ie Unspecified Internal Server Error; nothing seems to resolve the issue eg requesting password reset etc has not helped!)

    PPS Discovered I can use my real name for this alias account, as long as I have a different username!
