You've gotten things wrong once again, Sebastian. You really are the
consummate "contrary indicator" and "intelligent fool."

We already KNOW AS A CERTAINTY that the OP has admin rights on the local
computer OR SHE COULDN'T HAVE INSTALLED TRUECRYPT IN THE FIRST PLACE!

What a doofus you are!

You should never store private files on a public computer. There's no
way to know whether the public computer's software or even hardware
has been modified to compromise your privacy (for example by recording
your keystrokes). If you want to work on private files away from
home, get a portable computer and keep your files on it. TrueCrypt is
a good product for encrypting your files on your own computer, in case
your computer falls into the wrong hands sometime after you've put
your files on it. It can't solve the situation of a computer that's
already in the wrong hands BEFORE you've put your files on it.
