Sandboxie Support

Not ideal but you can still right click/run sandboxed and choose the correct sandbox for the file, this should override the force folder setting.

Thought it may be of interest to others who want to do something similar. I had an issue today, I wanted to install adobe reader into a sandbox so it didn't install files across my system, but I also wanted to maintain a fresh install of reader so didn't want it writing inside the sandbox after the ...

matrixebiz, As an alternative, If you wanted to keep the software on your host machine and still install the sandboxed version without issues you could also use write file path (write-only access): https://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?WriteFilePath As sandboxie puts it: " The following folders will a...

You could try adding the cookie folder to write-only access:

Resource Access > File Access > Write-Only Access

Description:
The following folders will appear empty to programs running in this sandbox, but the programs may create new files within these folders in the sandbox.

Hi Ransom, I agree this would be a nice feature. Disabling all sandboxes often feels like overkill when you only need to disable one. Not sure if it helps but for speed you can hold ctrl+shift and right click -> run sandboxed. Holding ctrl+shift tells sandboxie to run the program unsandboxed and sav...

@Bo, The questions were from the original post by Craig, I just copied them to address them individually. Regarding suggestions, By default it seems sandboxie has it covered so there's not much to improve for base protection. However, if developers ever get more time I think it may be worth adding s...

• SBIE Configuration, specific to ransomware. Do you do anything different? Nothing specific to ransomware. • How do you use SBIE when going online? Opening email attachments? Recovering and saving files? (Office2016/Office36 can be included, that is being released ASAP.) I use a locked down web br...

when I introduced the flash drive, it did not run sandboxed even though I force my USB drives. The reason being that when he assembled the computer back together, a different letter got assigned to my USB drives than the ones I had as Forced. Hi Bo.. You should consider sandboxing all of the drive ...

Notepad++ won't be able to open them if the sandbox is in use as Sandboxie loads the hives in order to edit them. You can view the content in the registry though: • Run regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit) • Expand the HKEY_USERS tree SBReg.png If you right click these entries and click export (recomme...

Listening this morning to Security Now 552, a small portion of a rather long podcast addressed Virtual Machine stuff as THE ONLY way to combat a crypto-ransome disease that is apparently common in the wild now, using ads on web-pages for the infection vector. Amongst the VM names considered was San...

Nice, glad to hear it helped. Just remember there's a slight security issue with installing something like a web browser inside a sandbox due to the fact you won't be clearing the sandbox after each use. If the browser is compromised at some point (and if not picked up by other security products) it...

Hi kawaiiwolf, I think the security issue here is that there's nothing stopping a compromised application naming all of it's executables (or any application on your system) "firefox.exe" and then running it. A compromised application doesn't even need to read your sandboxie config to check the white...

Cracked software, Does it work? Dunno. If you're risking your system on compromised software, well.... why use sandboxie? Once the program has been compromised (any program) the program is now suspect. Exactly, all talk of morality aside; if there's one type of software you should buy rather than g...

No problem PALDK, glad it was useful .

If you hold CTRL+SHIFT while clicking 'Run Sandboxed' from the context menu the target program will automatically start un-sandboxed. Maybe this is what you're thinking of?
