hole disk encryptor which used the contents of a temp folder for its key.

For the key? I assume the final key was stored and encrypted by a passphrase?
But this still sounds risky to me. The chances that I could reproduce the contents of your temp folder are slim, but there is a LOT of pattern to them.

TrueCrypt lets you use keyfiles (a file combined with a password). I've never been that afraid of keyloggers though. If someone is serious enough to plant a keylogger on my computer, they are serious enough to plant a camera, or even to bring along a rubber hose. My security is shot in any of those cases. :)
