    I just want to know what should i need to change on my default sandboxie setup to hardened my sandboxie (paid version)?

    Btw, i always do online transaction/banking.

    Also, why is that everytime i downloaded a file or program over the internet it didn't show on my item to recover in sandboxie? but if i'm using torrent, i can see the file that are ready to recover.

    thanks in advance!

    I would add IE to forced programs list (just do by name "iexplore.exe") and then open IE, do banking and close IE as soon as done. You can then right click on sandboxie icon in notification tray and "Terminate all programs" for good measure to make sure tracks are purged ASAP.
    I noticed this too - just starting sandboxie myself. I noticed if I just download by left click of link instead of right click and "save target as", it's more likely to offer qucik recovery but maybe there's a better way to do it. In any event, you should be able to browse into sandbox with windows explorer and copy out what you want.

    That's my take on it for a starting point. Probably more experienced users can give you a more elegant or airtight way to do these things.

    There's also a forum run by the developer at http://sandboxie.com/phpbb/

    Have you tried checking here? That's what allows me the immediate save to same or other folder option.

    Also check and make sure you are downloading to one of the locations eligible for recovery.

    As well forcing certain programs to be run sandboxed, eg iexplore.exe, firefox.exe etc. under settings>resource access>internet access, choose the ONLY programs you wish to be able to access the internet.This means ( i believe ) if you download a virus with the same name (eg,firefox.exe ) during a sandboxed session,it cannot access the internet.

    1)Allow only your browser(s) to access the internet

    2)Allow only your browers to start and run in sandboxie

    3)If your using the beta 3.33 version, drop rights feature

    You may need to add some of your programs (or not) to 1 or 2 to fit your needs

    The settings he showed you prevent the majority of keyloggers from working inside the sandbox and stealing your data. For any script-based threats, I always recommend Firefox with the "NoScript" extension. Configure SandboxIE right and use Firefox with a couple of extensions, and malware and data thieves would find it almost impossible to cause you any problems.

    So the new features should eliminate the need for custom rules under edit configuration?

    To block read access to D: for any app in the sandbox:

    Sandbox Settings -> Resource Access -> File Access -> Block Access ...
    There you should add D: :thumb:

    Otherwise, sandboxie will protect anyway your data from modifying

    i can't use my yahoo messenger webcam, it keep on crushing eventhough i included yahoomessenger.exe in the list of allow to access the internet and start/run in sanboxie. I also included yupdater.exe

    what else should i include in "Allow only your browser(s) to access the internet
    and "Allow only your browser(s) to start and run in sandboxie"?

    do i really need to include only the browser? because i cant use my utorrent...if i include utorrent or more program, the purpose of blocking any keyloggers will be useless?

    Try including ypager.exe also.

    You can include utorrent or any other program you need for the net, If something bad gets in your sandbox it should'nt be able to start/run or have access to the internet. Don't forget to empty your sandbox when your done with your browsing session and before attempting any banking or shoping online.

    it didn't work. It says "Windows Command Processor has stopped working".

    if i disable forced program just to run Yahoomessenger, the webcam is working fine.

    see attached of my setting both for internet access and start/run access.

    Try editing sandboxie.ini and add "yahoom~1.exe" to the processgroup (minus the quotes).

    Yes, I do run YM and am able to access the cam using Sandboxie.

    To edit the sandboxie.ini, double click the sandboxie system tray icon which will open up Sandboxie Control window then go to Configure > Edit Configuration. A text file will then pop up and you can manually enter yahoom~1.exe to the processgroup line of your sandbox i.e:

    ProcessGroup=<InternetAccess_DefaultBox>,yahoomessenger.exe,yahoom~1.exe,...other programs.exe
