    Is there a way to force start registry keys, or somehow use sandboxie to prevent changes made to certain registry keys?

    You force start a program. What would be acomplished force starting a registry key. By it self it's nothing.

    Sandboxie prevents all changes to the real system.

    Sorry for going slightly off-topic and not to sound nit-picky, but I wonder if a more accurate response is to say "Sandboxie prevents all changes to the real system, but may not prevent one's computer from recording which programs were executed or what they did." I'm a consistent user of Sandboxie and a big fan of that program. However, when I first started using it I was a little surprised to notice some changes, including to the registry, were occurring. My assumption back then as a new user of SBIE was that absolutely no changes would take place when running a sandboxed application (such as testing out software).

    Over time, I learned that the changes I was observing were generated by Windows as explained here. http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?PrivacyConcerns

    You are correct, but my answer to the original question still stands, I think.

    1) Sandboxie control - Resource Access - Registry Access - Blocked Access - Edit/Add (reg keys)

    2) Sandboxie control - Resource Access - Registry Access - Read-Only Access - add C:\
