This is one of the things that SBIE can do, could someone explain what we gain by doing that?

There are many uses for sandboxing Windows Explorer. What to do with it, really depends on you. Myself, I use it specifically for navigating to files I download than I am not 100% sure what they are, by navigating to this files via the sandboxed explorer I know for sure they ll run sandboxed. And also for running pictures I download from the internet. My image viewer is Windows photo viewer, which is a program that cant be forced via Forced programs. So, by navigating to images using the sandboxed explorer, they ll run sandboxed automatically when I click them.
After creating a new sandbox for Windows explorer, Click: Configure>Windows shell integration, Click Add shortcut icons, select your dedicated Windows explorer sandbox, look for Windows explorer/File explorer in one of the menus, and click it. After the click, you ll find the shortcut in your Desktop.
