Re: Truecrypt question

The original copy on TC container will remain encrypted, the HDD copy will be un-encrypted.

What I mean, is for example when I take out those files from the virtual tc container will those files be still encrypted when I paste those to my desktop?

After I created my virtual encrypted tc container I placed files inside that tc container and then deleted those files from the local directory from my desktop.

No. Your desktop is just a folder on your un-encrypted HDD thus anything in your desktop folder will be un-encrypted.

With TC, however you have option to encrypt your entire HDD if you desire.
