Hmm, why not just hide folders, or even just use true crypt :lol:

Don't see the point in that, but ok.

Hmmm, I used TrueCrypt for two weeks just fine, got hit by a virus and was no longer able to access the non-system drive using my password (after cleaning up the system). 120gb of files gone bye bye.
Okay, so I lock or hide the drive ... now when I want to access it I have to go in and restore the registry setting to its previous state. Do I got that right?

It hides the entire drive. That is the point....though there are better alternatives in my opinion. :P
