Sandboxie offers controls to bypass the sandbox in certain cases. If you need the change to be permanent, you need to disable the sandbox functionality or use built-in controls. The same is true for downloads that you make and any other content that changes. Registered users who force programs to run in the sandbox can disable forced programs for a short while using the tray icon menu.

Sandboxie downloads update#

In the case of updates, be it program updates or updates to add-ons, it is best to run the program outside of the sandbox during the update so that it can update just fine provided that is what you want. When you close Firefox or terminate the sandbox, the update is gone and you will be asked to update again next time you run the program. Say you run Firefox in the sandbox and the browser updates itself to a new version. Note: If you run a program in a sandbox, it means that it won't be able to interact with data on the system in a permanent fashion by default.

You can run the shortcut whenever you want to load the software it links to in the selected sandbox.

The shortcut is saved to the desktop afterwards.

Select the application from the list of programs.

Select the sandbox that you want to run the program in.

The Sandboxie Start Menu is displayed which you can use to select an application that you want to create a shortcut for.

A window appears the first time that explains what is happening next.

Click on the Add shortcut Icons button.

Select Configure > Windows Shell Integration in the Sandboxie Control window.

In addition to that, you can also create shortcuts for sandboxed programs. Sandboxie adds a context menu item to Windows Explorer which you can also use to run programs or files in the sandbox. It is alternatively possible to drag and drop applications - or their shortcuts - into the Sandboxie environment to run them sandboxed. Web browsers, Email clients and Windows Explorer are displayed here directly, but you can also use the menu to run a program from the start menu or any program that is available on the system. To run programs in a sandbox, select Sandbox > DefaultBox > Run Sandboxed > Run from the toolbar menu.You may also right-click on any sandbox and select 'run sandboxed' from the context menu to do so. This restriction appears to have been lifted as I could create new sandboxie using Sandbox > Create New Sandbox in the unregistered version.

Previous home versions of Sandboxie limited use to a single sandbox. A default sandbox is available right away. Sandboxie opens the main Sandboxie Control interface afterward. You can remove programs from the list and add new ones, and hide future software compatibility dialogs. It highlights detected applications on the system and recommends compatibility setting for these. The application displays software compatibility information on first start.

Sandboxie downloads install#

Sandboxie needs to install a driver on the system which it does during installation. The installer is clean and does not hold any surprises. The program is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.

Installation of Sandboxie is straightforward. Note: Sandboxie 4.06 was used for the initial review, Sandboxie 5.26 was used for the update.
