[QUOTE="Recrypt, post: 708112, member: 22989"] Thank you for your feedback. I agree, this transparent folder virtualization is not that transparent for the user. We have it in our TODO list to rethink this concept, maybe link or mirror some folders to the real user profile, not sure yet. We tried to allow network access only to the programs that really need it. I guess you mean Office isolated environment? At first we tried to leave it network-less, but there were some troubles with 365-editions that are basically online-editions, some versions want to login online, to activate. So we had to allow network access. Are there some other programs that don't need it, but we allowed it? I have blogpost here describing different ReHIPS Working Modes [URL="https://forum.rehips.com/index.php?topic=9539.0"][FAQ] Different Working Modes[/URL] I'll quote it here for Permissive Mode: [I]Permissive Mode. If a program is already in the ReHIPS database, these existing rules are used. If a program is not in the ReHIPS database, it's just allowed once. So new programs are allowed without any alerts, but only once, nothing is automatically added to the database.[/I] So yeah, it's supposed not to harass user by any alerts in this mode. But you're right, if "Can Execute Programs" is set to "Alert", it indeed generates alerts. We'll fix it. Thank you for your interest in our product and for your feedback. Best regards, fixer.
