SBIE,
Yes, and thanks for the explanation. Thinking about the example you gave, and what I have observed with some software I run, what do you think of these two statements as general rules:
In the first case, if an executable calls another in such a way that the second program becomes visible on Task Manager/Process Explorer, then separate rules in Sandboxie.ini are needed to control the second program's behavior.
It is the second case is what initially confused me, and still does, so see if you agree with this: if a one executable calls another in a way that it runs without appearing on the above two process/service monitoring utilities, then its behavior will be determined by the rules applied to the program that does appear.
In the case of my PDA synchronizing program, with 4-5 executables in the directory, I saw nothing new appear in Process Explorer as I clicked-on menu selections for backing up, exporting or importing. Perhaps I am safe in limiting the sandboxie.ini rules to the main executable?
I wonder if I'm the only one who has strange programs like this? Or am I not looking closely enough? Actually, I never even thought about these things until I had to, in order to configure the Sandboxie .ini file.
For a second example, when MS Internet Explorer runs under StarOffice (StarOffice gives me no other choice
), I see no new processes appearing. So I suppose the rules applying to the office suite would automatically apply to the browser?
If Tzuk agrees with this, the second case in particular, perhaps it could go into the FAQ section, for others who have the same types of programs. I'm not sure if I'm using correct terminology in calling "processes" these programs that run this way, as a process should appear in the monitor utility's listing (I think).
