Can I store my Bitlocker security key file anywhere?

[MattDamonisdumb]

I use a jump drive to unlock by notebook using Bitlocker. At the moment I have one folder for all my PC files and the other files that are not located in a folder are my Puppy Linux files for booting from the drive and my Bitlocker key file.

Can I place the Bitlocker key file in the PC folder? Does Bitlocker scan the entire thumb drive for the key until it finds it?

Thank you
