Bufferzone: was it that bad?
on sandboxie topic: applicatoins open in sanbox I get it, but what about installation of new software? also in Sandbox? Sorry for those questions. Just like umbra, I am still exploring sandboxie.
bufferzone is not
bad but i didn't need it so its not in my system.
in sandbox if the program is installed normally, then all of it's files and Registry entries are installed outside of the sandbox. In this case, you would probably run the program under Sandboxie's control by using the right-click "Run sandboxed" option. Or, the program could be forced to run under Sandboxie's control every time it starts, if you have a registered version of Sandboxie.
In the second case, a program is installed inside of a sandbox by creating a sandbox for the program (if it doesn't already exist), and then right-click the installer for that program > Run Sandboxed > (pick a sandbox for the install).
In the installer program you might choose a path for the install like:
C:\Program Files\Program Name\
and when the program runs, it will think that the actual path to it's folder is the above.
But the actual path to 'program.exe'
would be:
C:\Sandbox\(user)\(sandbox)\drive\C\Program Files\Program Name\program.exe
In this case all of the program's files and Registry entries exist only inside of the sandbox, and the program will automatically run sandboxed because of that.
If you want to, you can get rid of the entire program's install by deleting the sandbox contents.
Or, keep it in the sandbox for each use.
After trying the program while it's installed inside a sandbox, you might decide to delete the sandbox contents and install it normally.
