[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 739231, member: 32260"] I made a quick SpyShelter test. There are two different ways of applying SS restrictions to folders/subfolders: [LIST=1] [*]Restricted apps list -> choose folder [*]Rules -> Exclude folder -> choose folder to exclude -> Make it denied [/LIST] Both apply different restrictions. For example, the first does not allow unsigned program elevation, but the second does. . Sadly for the point 1 solution, I could not change restrictions of the concrete program located in such folders or exclude subfolders. So this solution has limited usability as default-deny protection for the UserProfile. . Exclusions are possible for the point 2 solution via the options 'Exclude file' or 'Exclude folder'. So, this could be used to apply a kind of smart-default-deny security based on restrictions in the light sandbox. It shows 'All general actions' set to Deny for the program located in a denied location, but anyway allows Hard disk access. So, only some restrictions are applied, and the user cannot choose Custom option to activate all possible restrictions. [/QUOTE]
