[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 708101, member: 32260"] Correct. That happened as follows. The user opens a document in the ReHips sandbox. The document [B]can be saved by default in the real folder[/B] from where it was opened. So the user thinks that ReHips saves files into the real (not virtualized) folders. But, if one choose C:\Users\Username\Documents to save the file, then the document [B]is not saved in this folder[/B] but in the 'C:\Users\ReHIPSUser1\Documents' (virtualized folder), and the user has no chance to realize this. That is the case with 'Microsoft Print to PDF', because default target location is the Document folder. If the Permissive mode is for non-expert users, then it would be more usable to save documents by default into real (not virtualized) folders. Yes, I know that it would be also less secure, but worth rethinking anyway, because average users have a big problem with virtualized folders. I have another suggestion. The sandbox for document editors/viewers should by default block the Internet connection (thanks [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER]). The important question is as follows: Does ReHips in Permissive mode work as it shows via Rules Database? If so, then all mentioned by me processes have the setting: 'Can Execute Sub-Programs : Alert'. If not, that it would be necessary to give a note about it somewhere. . [B]I would like to thank the developer for such an interesting application, and helpful posts. :)(y)[/B] [/QUOTE]
