Going through the registry would be easier and more universal (for Windows versions beyond XP). Just run Regedit and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TrueCryptVolume\Shell\open\command and add /a /d to the end of the entry. Viola. You don’t have to go through all that.

By entering the password, the volume mounts, but does not open its contents in file manager. The Truecrypt dialogue doesnt close and it does not select the selected drive (x) instead it opens the next available drive letter.
