I want to startup my Windows and then see a dialog box (or a commandline window) that prompts me for the drive password to decrypt it automatically after bootup.

I tried to make a .bat "script" (related question) but it just didn't work while I was able to decrypt the drive with the same commands I by hand in the commandline.

My current (unpolished barebone) solution:

.bat file with

@echo off
manage-bde G: -unlock -password
pause

Put that in the task manager; trigger at logon. It has to run as administrator (highest voted answer works like a charm). Has one big flaw though at the moment: When I enter a wrong password I don't get another prompt but "press any key to continue..."
