Exclude specific program from sandboxie

xiaoyang · Post by **xiaoyang** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 3:52 am

sometimes internet explorer sandboxed will invoke other program that will also run in sandboxie. can you provide a feature to exclude some specific program from sandboxie? thank you very much

I dont think this is possible, it has been mentioned before and would defeat the entire concept of Sandboxie, which is that every child process of a sandboxed program will be sandboxed as well.
Plus it could open up a nasty security hole as well...

Is there any sandbox than can?

Just wondering, is there a specific program you want to block? Maybe a closedfilepath to that programs folder might prevent it opening at all. But are you looking for that program to open, but open UNsandboxed? If that is what you want - see SnD's answer above.

Thank you for your reply. I post this request just beacause that some program I used always crushed in sandboxie. so i don't want it was invoked by an sandboxed program.

I think this feature will help who has program sandboxed always crashed like me.
SnD's answer is right, however I prefer running a program unsafely temporarily to crushing.
After all it can provide a way to avoid crashing temporarily. and you can warn this unsafety to sandboxie user.
Please think it again if it can workable technically. Thank you.

I prefer to fix whatever problem is causing the program to crash, than to create a workaround that sidesteps the real problem.

Can you tell me which program is crashing under Sandboxie?

acrobat , I tried three versions:7.0, 8.0 and 9.0. I also search solutions in this forum,but i cannot find a way that can work to my computer.

Are you talking about Acrobat Reader or Acrobat the PDF creation suite?

I use Acrobat professional version（can make pdf), not acrobat reader.
Thank you

I wondered if there had been any more thoughts on this old feature request. I think many people could have one program that they didn't want sandboxed for any of a number of reasons (and which gets started at least some of the time from within a sandboxed application)

I can see that it goes against what sandboxie is for, but it could be a tightly controlled option. Enabled for one program without wildcards.

If you didn't want to encourage its use it could be made only possible via editing sandbox.ini.

You've dug up a four year old posting from 2008 but I beleive this option has been a part of Sandboxie for ages.

see: http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?Rest ... s#startrun
"Use these settings to select which programs, if any, will be allowed to start and run in the sandbox."

oops. My slow moving brain has just noticed that my reply doesn't exactly apply here, you're apparently looking for a refinement to these settings...
