Changing Context Menu

Post by nerad » Mon Jan 07, 2013 12:10 pm

Hi,

This is my first post. I have happily been a been a long time user of sandboxie and still think it's one of the best security products going.

I need a bit of help.

It's probably my own fault for rushing when at the pc but I find I regularly hit the `Explore Contents` option instead of the `Delete Contents` option that is above it when using the right click context menu. I then get the warning about it being unsafe to explore the contents.

I have trawled the forum for a while now and have not found anything that applies (at least with my limited computer knowledgeI can't find anything that obviously applies).

Could someone please advise how I can edit the context menu to change to order so they are not next to each other.

Thanks for you time

The user cannot customize that menu.
Use the check box: "In the future, don't show this message"

Thanks for the response Guest10.

If it`s not possible to change the context menu then fair enough.

I will probably leave the message so it is a warning that I am running a non sandboxed explorer instance.

It seems that the warning is to highlight a possible vulnerability but I may be wrong. If it is a non issue then maybe someone could set my mind at ease.

I don't know if I would go so far as to call it a vulnerability. If you open non-EXE files in a sandbox folder, Sandboxie may not always be able to intercept that action as reliably as it can for EXE files. So the warning is basically saying, if you're exploring the contents with the intent of clicking on files to run them, you should start a sandboxed copy of Windows Explorer, rather than use Explore Contents.

Hi Tzuk,

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if any malware with some kind of auto execute may work in this scenario. I am not a pc tech guy so most of my concerns are hypothetical and probably unfounded due to a lack of understanding how malware works.

Thanks again.
