  Hello,

      I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the storage location of the external key that gets generated when setting a volume to get automatically unlocked:

  C:\Windows\system32>manage-bde.exe -autounlock -enable D:
  BitLocker Drive Encryption: Configuration Tool version 6.1.7600
  Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
  
  Key Protectors Added:
      External Key:
        ID: {9B42C64D-93A8-4FFE-9CD5-9DACAC5CDF9F}
        External Key File Name:
          9B42C64D-93A8-4FFE-9CD5-9DACAC5CDF9F.BEK
        Automatic unlock enabled.

  Where is this .BEK file actually saved?

  Thanks,
