Is it possible to drag URL shortcut to desktop?

It seems no longer possible to drag an internet URL from the browser's address bar to the desktop or to a file folder in any browser. Instead, I have to copy the URL, then create a shortcut on the desktop, and past the URL into the shortcut, then name the shortcut. This is a lot more work than dragg...

Which firewall works best w/ SB? [SOLVED]

All my browsers are forced to run in SB, and I already have a hardware firewall.
Looking for a software firewall to keep an eye on outbound traffic.
Which firewall, paid or free, requires the least tweaking to work with SB? Is there a firewall that does SB compatibility test on their own?

Cannot print to default printer in sandboxed browser

The default printer is incorrectly set to a non existing printer (turbotax PDF printer). Now I'm in a web site at the end of a rebate submission process where I'm to print the form, inside firefox.

Avoid PUP how?

PUP (potentially unwanted programs) usually comes with free software (e.g. toolbars, search engines). I recently found a trovi browser hijack on a friend's computer that's hard to remove. I ended up using adwcleaner to get rid of it. In addition to being careful to uncheck "bonus software" when inst...

Mouse pointer keeps moving back to upper left corner

If I visit this site: http://gis.redmond.gov/crimemap/#/MapView in firefox using sandboxie, the mouse pointer will periodically (several times per second) jump back to the upper left corner of the screen. To get out of this, I had to put another window in focus, which then free the mouse pointer so ...

If IE runs in protected mode when not sandboxed, and you save that setting in a cookie, then when Sandboxie runs IE in non-protected mode maybe it can't read the cookie that was set. Bingo! Outside of sandboxie, I turned off IE protected mode, then went to google and say no thanks to the blue bar. ...

How to keep a google cookie persistent?

When I use IE9 to visit google, it creates a blue bar below the menu "come here often? make google your home page". If I say no thanks, it goes away until the sandbox content is deleted, which is quite often since it is set to auto. If I use IE9 outside of sandboxie, the blue bar also doesn't show u...

Does chrome inside sandboxie means double layer of sandbox?

Chrome is supposed to have a built-in sandbox (although google doesn't emphasis this feature).

If I put chrome inside sandboxie, is it running inside a sandbox inside a sandbox (double sandbox)? Does this make it doubly safe?
