How do I make TrueCrypt auto mount my disks at startup

[BirdDad]

I have my system drive running strong encryption which should be enough as all volumes I decrypt at startup anyway.
Windows 8.1

You can fire off commands at TC to mount/dismount volumes. I've automated it for backup systems before, and tested it with batch files.

the problem I am facing is that I have five volumes to mount and I use data off of every one of them most of the time. It is tedious to type in my passwords which are 30+ characters long. I am not afraid of someone stealing my information while I am at the computer, just afraid they might try to steal it when I am gone from home. I have a crazy ex who stalks me
and would love to get their hands on my finances/correspondences/you name it.

Adding to my previous response, you can automate the mounting and dismounting of volumes either through supplying the password as part of the command or through keyfiles.

I will look in on keyfiles. Thanks all.
I need the keyfile to reside either on the bootable partiton(not my first choice) or on the first non system volume so that they have to go through that extra line of defence.
