Create a sandboxed user

Post by Goneval » Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:05 am

If you added the feature of creating a computer account that was running in a sandbox. The user could choose to flush the sandbox, if my little brother downloaded 1000 free games from the sandboxed account www.1000games.bxm.tk.ty.exe and messed up the computer it would only affect the sandboxed user account.

When i log in to my default user the computer would run like noone have ever borrowed my computer.

Why do you need Sandboxie to sandbox an entire particular user account? Isn't using ForceProcesses and/or ForceFolders enough?
Also why would you name a user account to end with an .exe extension? Just curious....

What you could do is forceprocess all browsers on his account, forcefolder any paths he may be downloading files to and/or running files from, block access to any paths you dont want him to be able to access, then set his account as limited user and protect Sandboxies config with the AdminOnly switch so he cant tamper with the config.

That should work fine no?
