Hello guys :)

Since I've using Sandboxie for a while there's a question that came in my mind.

How to configure Sandboxie Free in dealing USB autorun based attacks since force folders feature is only in registered version.

Any suggestions is highly appreciated.

I could be wrong but I don't believe that feature is available in the free version.

However your best option is to manually disable autoruns on your system.
If you are using Windows Vista, 7 or 8. The autoruns for USB are disabled by default if you have your system updated with the latest Windows Updates.

Read more about details and Microsoft Fixit which will automatically disable USB autoruns for you here- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715


Enjoy!!:D

Replace File/Windows Explorer shortcuts with those of Running under the supervision of Sandboxie shortcuts.

Don't forget to pin those new shortcuts, everywhere you access File Explorer.
