In linux I think in ~/.bitcoin or ~/.Bitcoin. So even if the applcation is on the usb disk the wallet data is stored in hidden data folders default in system drive. In windows %APPDATA% is like C:\Users\username\Application Data\Roaming and in mac ~ is /Users/username and in linux ~ is /home/username. In any case you just type the variable like original Start > Run %APPDATA%\Bitcoin or Go > Folder, etc.Maybe I missing something but why put bitcoin exe in encrypted disk?Quite right MrVidalia, I was getting a little ahead of myself. It is true that your wallet.dat file is stored locally on your computer. It is possible to alter this through using what is called a symbolic link. If you use Linux provided your Home Directory is encrypted I don't think you need to be too worried if your laptop or computer is seized but do make regular back ups.V.
