Delete invocation options

[her34]

Currently delete invocation has 2 options for automatic or never. Please consider adding another option to delete during Sandboxie control startup. This would allow user to refer back to a sandbox if necessary during a windows session but also automatically delete and not accumulate. Additionally the proposed option would also refresh the application (use latest files outside sandbox) during next windows session.

Hmm, not a bad idea!
However if someone sets their sandbox to auto-delete, they're probably aware that the sandbox is going to delete after they close the program, and therefore wouldn't most people just keep the app running until they absolutely sure they're done with the program? Thus they end the program and the sandbox auto-deletes.

I don't know if most people would want to open an app, close it, open it, close it, over and over until they finally logout/restart/shutdown thus deleting the sandbox? But it isn't a bad idea though...

i CAN SEE why this would work when people, like me, have accidentally closed something. If they have their sandbox set to auto-delete, then they would curse themselves because they would have to go through the entire process again to get back to the same point. Very good idea.

I think this is a good idea. I would probably use it.

I can only speak for myself as to whether or not a new feature would be useful, so:

I seldom shut down or reboot my computer anymore - unless I have to.
Maybe it's because I'm still using XP, and reboots have gotten slower in spite of my efforts to prune down the list of startup programs.
With Control set to start with Windows - simultaneously starting Control along with all of the other programs that are listed in the Registry Run key, and then starting the programs that are listed in the Start Menu's Startup list - I wouldn't want it to further slowdown my startup by deleting sandboxes at startup.
Especially, if I have Control set to use a secure delete program.

So some might find it useful, but I (for one) wouldn't use it.

...reboots have gotten slower in spite of my efforts to prune down the list of startup programs.

Off topic I know, but I'm still using Windows XP and my start-up is fairly fast (about 46 seconds from physically pressing the power button to a fully loaded desktop and system tray) and has not slowed down at all over the months/years.

I guess the point I'm ultimately trying to make is that I'm fairly sure you'd notice a considerable improvement in start-up speed if you got rid of Norton and ZoneAlarm. From my own personal experience, security software is almost always the culprit for a slowed down start-up.

Also see a similar request to delete the sandbox before it even starts.
