Have you ever been ask to reveal a password by a person who want to see what is inside your account? With TrueCrypt hidden volume feature, you can hide a file container within another password container. It is sort of like those magic tricks where there is nothing in a top hat, but the magician pulls out a bunny. When you show a decoy password drive it is empty or filled with non-sensitive files, but your sensitive data is only visible with a special password.
This is a lot more effective then enabling the hidden attribute for the file in windows explorer since it is not only hidden inside a file, but the hidden drive is also password protected.

Truecrypt software drive/file encryption has an option to use key files to protect your data. Think of key files as a key to opening your files.
