EXE will first look for sbie.ini containing the path to Start.exe, if it doesn't find it, it wil prompt you to locate it (and will check to be sure), then write the INI file containing the path in the same directory as the EXE.

Then it checks if you passed it a file via drag-and-drop or the Send To... menu. So yes, you can do both of those things If not, it will prompt you to choose your target file. If the target file is an EXE file, it will use the program icon for the shortcut. If not, it will use the Sandboxie icon for the shortcut (instead of the generic windows icon).

Then you are prompted for a location to save the shortcut, a shortcut name, and then you are given the option to specify a sandbox parameter, ie /box:current.

Voila, shortcut created. Comments and suggestions welcome!!

I'd like to ask:

Why this utility tickle my Firewall and asks permission to go ONLINE?

It's VirusTotal free yet such kind of behavior is suspicious for me...

I'm not developing this app any more, as it still does what is required. Take it as it is.

That said, the 'current' sandbox parameter, see here:

Questions
1. What's the point of "current" option in the drop-down menu of "execute in sandbox"?
I don't have a sandbox called "current" so this option is completely pointless to me.
Is there any way to remove that option from the drop-down menu?

Features request

1. Sandbox folder
It would be great if I can create a shortcut to sandbox folder too

2. Automatically select target folder
If nothing is selected in the target folder the shortcut icon will be created at the desktop.
It will save much time since I always put the shortcuts of the sandboxed programs at the desktop.

3. Automatically create shortcut names
If nothing is typed in the shortcut name a default shortcut name will be created: %SandboxName% %FileName%
It would speed up the process of creating shortcut names.

4. Assign shortcut keys
It would be great if I can assign the shortcut key too when I'm creating the shortcut.

Thank you very much.

I believe overlay icons are created and shown through explorer (or other 3rd party file manager). It's not part of the icon, and nothing that I can create as part of a shortcut.

How about a distinguishing "Overlay Icon"?

Hi,

I don't know if I'm right to ask for more but can you consider this too:

@SnD
I pretty much aggree with you. But it was an easy update and an opportunity to get some things working better internally now that nsDialogs has matured more. I didn't mind doing it

Hmm...
*Prepares for potential bashing*

I agree that this is a nice piece of work... but this was made back when the old Sandboxie was out... when Sandboxie used the old GUI... which didn't have a shortcut creator...

Now though, Sandboxie contains its own shortcut creator right in the GUI, under the shell integration section, so why not just use that, right?
Unless this shortcut creator contains some additional features I am unaware of (or it is simply good for the people stuck on old Sandboxie who dont wanna upgrade)?

First off, wonderful program. I was thinking "damn, it would be great if someone made...oh!" Thanks again for ALL of your hard work and time!

A few suggestions. I hope you'll consider them.

1) Please try and add the corresponding "Start in" entry into the shortcut. It is very rare, but some programs like Declan Language Software WILL NOT run unless you specify the "Start In" location in the shortcut.

For example:

Target: D:\Applications\Sandboxie\Start.exe /box:mydefaultbox "D:\Applications\Declan's Chinese FlashCards\dcfc.exe"
Start in: "D:\Applications\Declan's Chinese FlashCards"

It's easy enough to add this for the rare exceptions or even to all of them, but it's a suggestion that would improve this piece of software.

2) At the end of the shortcut creation, please allow the user to continue and make "another shortcut" or something like that alongside the close buttonThat way one doesn't have to re-open the application.

If I think of any other suggestions, I will post!

Updated v2.1.2.6

2007-11-19T02:21:02-04:00

Quick update for the new versions of Sandboxie. This is really kinda useless now with the new GUI and all, but on the off chance you have a program that's not in the start menu that you want a shortcut for...you can use it

- update with new version of NSIS which has better support for links (About box isn't as hacked together now)
- exclusion of UserSettings sections from being treated as sandboxes

Download in first post.

Updated v2.1.2.5

2007-11-19T02:17:55-04:00

Added enumeration of sandboxes from Sandboxie.ini. An initial file selection dialog will be presented, then the path to your INI will be saved in sbie.ini along with the path to Start.exe.

The box parameter is now a fancy Combo Box! It is a dropdown with your enumerated boxes, along with the new '__ask__' parameter and 'current' parameter. The Combo Box also allows typing text input should you wish to use it.
