Hi Richard, if you have the password you can decrypt the files wherever they
are stored using any computer with TC installed. So again in a word, yes. As
well, TC can be rum from a USB drive without installation as a portable
application. TC is an extremely strong encryption utility, yet
straightforward and very easy to use.
Cheers,
Amro

Thanks again Amro,
One last question - if I may: We now store some encrypted files on a NAS
drive. If my wife puts Truecrypt on her machine, will she be able to access
encrypted files providing she has the password?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard, that's the beauty of TC. volumes/containers are dealt with just
like ordinary folders. You can copy, cut, delete and backup them etc just in
the normal way, and they will still be encrypted and you'll need the
password to open them. So in a word, yes.
HTH,
Amro

Thanks Amro, yes, think you're right that you can just alt tab back to it,
so that's one mystery solved. If you create a volume on a pen drive, can
you copy/back up just by copying the folder you selected to contain the
encrypted files?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard, hmmm. Not really. The version I have is 7.1. I've just tried
creating a file container on my Windows 7 32bit system using Jaws 13 and it
worked fine. Though I had to refocus Jaws on the wizard at some point with
alt tab but I didn't have to unload and reload my screen reader at any time.
Could it be something to do with the latest version 7.1a? Can you make
another test and see if alt tabbing couple of times when your screen reader
is stuck does sort out the issue?
Cheers,
Amro

Hi Amro, With the help of a good friend, I've managed to work out how to use
this, but have one strange problem.
both on my pc and my friend's, you have to unload and reload the
screenreader to get through the wizard, as it seems to get stuck if you
don't. Have you had this issue, and if so is there a better way round it?
Best,
Richard

Nothing to be worried about really. TC is neat and very easy to use. Just
install it, read the beginner's tutorial , give it a try and if you come
across any issues give us a shout!
Cheers,
Amro

Hi Amro, I've just downloaded that, and was about to pluck up the courage to
try it out. Anything to watch or other guidance welcome.

Well, I use the app True Crypt from
http://www.truecrypt.org/
It is very accessible and quite easy to use.
Not sure if it is the sort of thing you are looking for but...
HTH,
Amro
