SBDelete

[wraithdu]

The original request came from this thread.

SBDelete is a small utility to automate the termination and emptying of multiple sandboxes at once. See the README for instructions on usage.

----------------------
SBDelete v1.0.2.3
(MD5: 2b527c3312be8c25a467327033d840fe)

[wraithdu]

Updated v1.0.1.2:

- added optional additional time to wait after all processes have ended before emptying the sandbox (perhaps to allow for some additional time for the registry hives to be unmounted)
- added 'Extras'
:: Clean "BoxExpandedView"

:: Clean "BoxExpandedView"

Ha!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist. If you wish, I will delete this post. )

Hey, I dont get it? o.0
Someone tell me whats funny about it!

Does it have to do with the thread created before about people being fussy about the leftover entries in the ini? Is that what it cleans?
(Yes you can delete this post as well)

[tzuk]

Yes. In any case it's very nice of wraithdu to offer a solution to this issue.

[wraithdu]

Ha, no problems You don't have to delete your posts.

But yeah, that's what it does, and yeah it was prompted by those other threads. With what I was doing to parse the INI for sandboxes, I was 90% of the way there. Figured it would get some people off your back tzuk

wraithdu, I find your little SBDelete very useful, I have a shortcut of it on the desktop and in the tray next to Windows "Start" button (I forget what that is called)
I know it is probably not strictly needed but I wonder if it would be possible to add something to SBDelete indicating that it has finished it's job when the Sandboxes are empty. Just a "Finished" or "Completed".

Thanks anyway

[wraithdu]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

The GUI goes into a locked / waiting cursor state while it's doing it's thing. When the waiting cursor goes away and the GUI is active again, everything is finished.

Updated v1.0.2.0:

- Changed internal routines to use SbieDll APIs for compatibility with any future 'Sandboxie.ini' changes (ie Templates, etc.)
- Added automatic locating of 'Start.exe' and 'Sandboxie.ini'
- Fixed a few small bugs

Re: v1.0.2.0
I'm having a problem with the new version. I deleted the previous 'sbdelete.ini' file before running the new version.
Sandboxie is installed at C:\Program Files\Sandboxie



My new sbdelete.ini file contains only
[sbdelete]
terminate=1
waittime=5
additionalwait=0

[wraithdu]

If you're signature is correct, you're running XP SP3. What does this registry value say in your system?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SbieSvc
ImagePath=?

I've tested and 1.0.2.0 works on both my Vista SP1 and XP SP3 systems. And that registry value has this data:

C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\SbieSvc.exe

Either this data is wrong on your system, or for some reason (possibly security software?) SBDelete cannot read it. This is how SBDelete determines Sandboxie's installation location.

[Guest10]

"C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\SbieSvc.exe"

[wraithdu]

Damn....quotes again. I had this problem when I was writing my sbieinj DLL and forgot about it. I'll update it today to fix the problem.

[wraithdu]

Ok, should be fixed in v1.0.2.1, see first post.

[Guest10]

Version 1.0.2.1 finds the Sandboxie install files, and sandboxie.ini OK.

I need the optional wait time on my PC (1 sec). The sandboxes are then deleted OK.

The "Extras" tool doesn't work for me.
Deleting my "Test3" box and also clicking on "Extras"/"Run Tool" leaves behind
SbieCtrl_BoxExpandedView_Test3=Y
in my sandboxie.ini file (which is located at C:\Winnt\sandboxie.ini).
