Hmm. Never heard of this capability and there's one small problem,
i.e., the issue of the need for a passphrase to decrypt and mount the
pgp disk.
I came across the following and think it's this functionality that has
been exaggerated:
,----- / To mount PGPdisk volumes automatically \

| Place the shortcut(s) in the Winnt\Profiles\{Name of Current User}\
| Start Menu\Programs\startup folder.

| Once you have placed the shortcut(s) in your startup folder, the

| Note: You are prompted to enter the passphrase for each PGPdisk volume
