BitLocker workflow improvements ?

Post by GreetingsFromPoland »

32-bit context menu is the default.

current workflow for working with bde vhdx files in xy.

1. right-click a vhdx, mount is visible and works
2. accessing the newly mounted drive in tree or list view displays "location currently not available" message
3. when displaying this pc, double-clicking the drive displays "this drive is locked by bitlocker drive encryption. you must unlock this drive from control panel" message
4. right-click on the drive, unlock drive is visible; however, clicking it displays the error dialog "application not found"
5. right-click on the drive, show 64-bit context menu, select unlock drive and you are presented with the bitlocker password dialog to unlock
6. drive is unlocked and accessible. when done, right-click and choose lock drive and the drive is locked
7. right-click on the drive and choose eject and the vhdx is "ejected"

with the current 32/64-bit context menus, is there any way to improve steps 4 and 5 ? with the exception of enabling the 64-bit context menu as the default.

if possible, it would nice to be able to mount, unlock, use, lock and eject vhdx drive/files 100% within using the 32-bit context menu.

any chance you can look at steps 4 and 5 ? i saw recently you made improvements to ISO files. would those changes apply to this as well ?
