The title says it all. Basically, I want to unmount a TrueCrypt volume when the USB stick with the keyfile on it is removed (and, ideally, shut down the computer as well).

There used to be a program that does that (Truemounter http://www.truemounter.de/) but it seems to be abandoned and apparently didn't work properly under Windows 7 anyway.

Any ideas?

If all else fails, you can write a script/program that periodically checks for existence of the keyfile (cmd.exe, Python, etc). –  grawity Mar 6 '10 at 20:38

USB Safely Remove has such a feature: it can start a program when a USB device is removed.

USB Safely Remove works great on Windows 7 (also in 64-bits).

+1 Nice. I never even knew anything like this existed. –  Kez Mar 6 '10 at 18:49
