Actually sandboxing IE?

[Ander]

I'd like to test an app that I think is hijacking Internet Explorer. I've tried running IE in the default sandbox, then running the suspicious app there too, then re-running the (presumably) sandboxed IE.

However, unlike as with most other apps, SB doesn't copy IE's files to the sandbox. Instead, it apparently uses the installed IE files in read-only mode. So I can't see how the other app affects it.

Is there any way to actually sandbox a copy of IE? This seems like it'd be a very useful (and often-requested) application of SB.

Thanks, Ander

You will only see content in the Sandbox due to modifications made by the programs you are running sandboxed. No modifications, no files.

I can only speculate without more information but your "app" might be hijacking IE by modifying registry values. That data you will find sandboxed in the RegHive file.

You might also want to take a look at the Contributed Utilities forum for tools to help you with analyzing what's happening.
