i just noticed none of the hotkeys (Ctrl+*) is working...

i tried it because i like the Ctrl+W very much

(used to be Win+E before sandboxie

)

i don't know if this is a server 2003 problem or also on XP... no option to try now... i'll update this post when i know more

[edit]

confirmed NOT working on XP either...

On my XP system running v17 sandboxed FireFox & IE7 react to Ctrl+W the same way as un-sandboxed. Crtl-W closes the focused tabs in FireFox, but will not close the browser. In IE7, it closes the tabs, then closes the browser after all tabs are closed. My configuration is different than most in that I use KeyScrambler Pro, which encrypts keystrokes at the keyboard driver level while browsing. I would have guessed that my configuration would have increased the chances of having such difficulties.

On my 2003 system running v2.86 (but not KeyScrambler), the Ctrl+W doesn't work at all for IE6. However, it will close the FireFox browser completely.

I suspect this kind of inconsistent system dependent result has been present all along. Maybe so few use Crtl keys these days that it just hasn't come up before this.

dlguild, Ctrl+W is a native sandboxie hotkey... check them out in the menu...

they have functions that concern sandboxie, not the sandboxed programms themselves.

They are only supposed to work if the Sandboxie Control window is visible and has the focus. And they work fine for me. Street011 maybe you expect them to be 'global' in the same way the Windows key works?

Yeah, it's a reasonable feature request.

But for now, you can probably find a small utility to let you configure hotkeys globally, and then connect some hotkey to run Start.exe (foldername)
