Only if their is someway in which the encrypted folder can be mounts using
a password from some source!
Typically in a fully encrypted computer, the user provides a password
during the boot process which unlocks the rest of the system.
An alternative is for the password (or better still a VERY LONG binary
password) to be stored on a USB stick. During the boot the usb is
mounted (or just read directly), and pass into a EncFS command to
mount the encrypted partitions. In this way you use a physical key
(the USB stick) to unlock the computer during the boot process.
No key -- no working computer, or perhaps a fake 'kiddy computer' gets
launched in place of the encrypted computer :-)
In fact you could make that USB hold that 'boot sequence' so their is
no sign that the computer has a altunative or 'true' boot configuration.
Once booted the USB is not needed anymore can can be re-hidden.
There are lots of possibilities ;-)
