When i use truecrypt --mount /PATH/OF/FILE /home/usr/Desktop all of my folders vanish. I then tried to unmount using truecrypt -d /PATH/OF/FILE and nothing, but after reboot the folders are back on Desktop.

Is there any way to be able to mount on Desktop but not lose my folders?

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
