What you did here you mounted truecrypt folder (that uses fuse technology) on top of your Desktop. Desktop files are not disappeared but they are hidden by truecrypt folder you just mounted. To restore it back you need to unmount the Desktop directory. Something like $ fusermount -u /home/usr/Desktop Is there any way to be able to mount on Desktop but not lose my folders? Most likely you do not want to mount truecrypt (or other fuse filesystem) to your Desktop. I would suggest do it to other folder, e.g. ~/Desktop/secret $ mkdir ~/Desktop/secret $ truecrypt --mount /PATH/OF/FILE ~/Desktop/secret

The solution is: mount it to an empty folder. eg: ~/Desktop $ mkdir tc-volume ~/Desktop $ truecrypt --mount /path/to/file ~/Desktop/tc-volume

When you use a non-empty directory as a mount target, its contents are obscured by those of whatever file/device you are mounting, which I'm guessing is an empty Truecrypt volume in this case. You could just create an empty folder in Desktop and mount onto that instead. -- Wayne
