Consider Not Using CutePDF to Save PDFs to TrueCrypt File Containers

Lately I've been in the habit of saving copies of emails to my computer, and then deleting the emails from my Gmail account, being a bit more comfortable with personal data (such as receipts) off of Google's computers. For sensitive information, I put some email PDFs in TrueCrypt file containers.

Today, I decided to poke around my registry for viruses, etc. To my very slight horror, this is what I found:


That was one of the most recent files that I saved using CutePDF, an Acro Software product -- to my TrueCrypt file container. I guess this is useful if CutePDF wants to recall the most recent directory it printed to. I've looked through the limited program settings, but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable this feature.
