You can use the "Load" button or "Ctrl+L" to load an encrypted drive. You are prompted for the password or passphrase.

Once you load an encrypted drive, you can see the file browser window. This appears below the main window buttons.
The encrypted drive functions like any other drive (C:\ or D:\) on your computer. You can also open the encrypted drive in Windows Explorer using the "Explorer Window" button.
