    I am a Sandboxie Newbie (Registered). Please share your recommended configuration(s) for Sandboxie Newbies.

    I have done the following:

    1. Added firefox.exe and iexplore.exe to "Forced Programs".
    2. Added firefox.exe and iexplore.exe to "Internet Access" under "Resource Access".
    3. Checked the option to "Automatically delete contents of sandbox" under Delete/Invocation.
    4. Added a download folder under Quick Recovery.

    I have seen the ini file modifications in other Posts on WildersSecurity but these may be confusing to many Newbies.

    Thank you.

    You may want to enable immediate recovery, which allows you to recover downloaded files when they are created rather than having to manually evoke recovery or wait until the sandbox is deleted.

    Under the applications/web browser tab, you may want to enable "allow direct access to mozilla firefox and seamonkey bookmarks":ninja:

    Do you want to protect any folders on your system from being accessed by programs in a sandbox (such as if you pick up a keylogger)? If so, then you would want to identify them via Blocked Access.

    What will happen is simple. You won't be able to access them while sandboxed. Want to try. Run Windows Explorer sandboxed and try and see.

    Running Outlook in a sandbox will contain any malware in infected email attachments. http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?EmailProtection

    No. For banking, I set up a separate sandbox with default settings plus the following: The only program that is permitted to run in that sandbox is my browser, and I block access to sensitive folders.

    yeah its access denied.

    btw, i just found out this error message in Event Viewer....any info?

    code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. the file could be corrupt due to unathorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.
