The problem looks solved. Giving the /quit parm its subparameter to run VC-background provides expected behavior - dismounting vols on signoff. The /quit parm for running VC maybe ought to have something highlighted about what it means when VC-backgrouind doesn't remain running. There is a note about this when setting Preferences in the gui, but no mention in the command line docs that I worked off of. I cleaned up the bat file and added "start" so the command window didn't stick around on first...

Adrien Missed your post. Here's the script: @echo off rem Run at login. rem - mount veracrypt volume(s) rem define parms needed setLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion SET _KEY-DRV=E:\ SET _Key-Dir= SET _Key-NM=TPT-keyfile-1 SET _Pgm-Path=C:\Program Files\VeraCrypt\ "%_Pgm-Path%veracrypt" ^ /v ID:72D62D764E955888C3E20CFBCE6A56E4F322506E82C7B603FF862384A19AAF1A ^ /k E:\TPT-key-1 ^ /l M /b /tryemptypass ^ /w ^ /q preferences ^ * "preferences" is new, not tested yet *** /m rm

Possible explantion. I run a bat file to mount a volume. There is a "/quit" parameter that may need certain sub-parms in order for VC to utilize its Preferences. I didn't catch on to the sub-parameters and /quit ran naked. I had assumed that Preferences set in the gui would be available, and in the absence of command line specificatioin, would control when executing VC from a script. The lack of a "Preferences" sub-parm for the VC /quit paramet may be the cause of my problem - allowing VC to exit...

Problem not gone. Same. Nothing fancy, just login/logoff and the volume remains mounted, is seen from the other user, and the bat file c omplaiins when loggin back into the first user. Not, not nice. Rufus

OK. After lunch I cannot repeat this problem. I did check to verify that the VC background process was "on" at all times. It seems to have been acting like something killed this process. But the Preferences had it checked to run. Since I'm just starting w/VC, I don't know what else may be involved. It kinda worries me that, if that is the problem, that it happened so easily and invisibly. I'm considering a logoff script to force dismounting of everything, regardless. Regards, Rufus
