Do I need Administrator privileges to use FreeOTFE on my computer?
No – Although Administrator privileges are needed to install the FreeOTFE drivers, or start/stop portable mode. To allow “standard” (non Administrator) users to use FreeOTFE, please install the FreeOTFE drivers by following the instructions in the Installation and Upgrading section. After which, any user will be free to use FreeOTFE (e.g. to create, mount, dismount and use encrypted volumes) To access an encrypted volume on a PC which doesn’t have FreeOTFE installed, and on which you don’t have Administrator privileges, please use FreeOTFE Explorer.
