I do not want to break win, only I want my browsers sandboxed

Hello,

What do you think about this pop up message?

As not native English speaker I do understand it like, Do not do it you are going to do a mess

What do you think?

 

Well yea, you should not do that ir you will break your windows installation, did try to set C:\windows as forced folder?

 

Hi
may I ask a question?
I have some folders and programs in the list forced folders and programs
what does it mean? I can't add some windows folders like firefox or chrome folders , can I ?
just because my operation system is not in english ,and I like to feature to force folder or program to run inside sandboxie
thanks

 

Well you should not set
C:\
C:\Windows
or
C:\Windows\*
as a forced folder, other folders are fine

 

denied.
\program files\ \program files (x86)\ \programdata\ and other system folders should be kept as they are. the rest is handled with the sandboxed program.

 

I do not remember

Where in SBIE settings I have to check if I set it?

Thanks
Camelia

 

According to your message, you are getting a warning because the iexplorer.exe rule is in the list. The location of this file is also associated with a folder under C:\Windows\WinSxS.

Code:

fsutil.exe hardlink list "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

 

this is only valid for windows 11, not windows 10.
and if win11 that exe will start ms edge

(in win10 there exist no i-explorer any more)
but this wont explain the message as it says "will break ... windows" and not "will break i-explorer"

open the settings ini from sb+ menu!?

 

No I have not set those paths

But I need that rule, because sometimes for accident IE opens and intermediately, Edge opens too

I want to add Edge too but I having a problem every time I add Edge to the list, that I will explain in other thread

So the developer should fix meaning of the message, that is what you are trying to say?

 

as long no one knows what you have tried to do there exist no solution.
my assumption was same as David, this warning should be respected and dropped the action.

 

Can I ask you

What do you not understand?

Thanks

@mantra @camelia I suggest you use Forced programs to Force programs, and Forced folders to force the folders where you keep files you download from the internet. To force a program all you need to do is force the main exe of the program. For example for Firefox, you set firefox.exe as a forced program.

Forcing folders, is simple, you download videos, pdf's, word files, etc. And set the folders where you store this files as Forced folders. To make things easier, I keep this type of files in a few folders. I don't have them scattered all over the computer. You can also use Force folders to force your USB drives, DVD drive. By combining using Forced programs and Forced folders pretty much every file that I downloaded is set to run sandboxed every time its executed.

Using the 2 features in any other way than how I describe above is reinventing Sandboxie (and IMO, wrong). And could be dangerous too. For example, you can run File explorer sandboxed but can't force it. If you force it, you ll get a message similar to the one you got, Cami.

calm down, not my fault.

you tried to force a system folder - a folder, not a file or programm - see your image.

and there is neither nor a hint which folder, and you did not tell. and as you do not know what you have done to get this message other need to guess.

aged or not, sometimes its better to stick with default settings or only slight changes.

PS thx bo, but isnt it recommend to read the help file before using unknown functions?

 

There seams to be a bug which causes this message to be shown also for ok paths, will be fixed in next build

 

thank you for clearing words.
but - we still dont know what she had done to get this dialog.
i dont use the plus build, i only extract it, put the ini-file into folder and see whats happening, i still use the classic build (installed). i dont need to get that deep into SB, at least it works as expected. so its still a masterpiece of all authors.

 

just clicking the checkbox triggers the wrongful message pop up.
just wait for 1.12.2 it should fix it.

 

isnt it recommend to read the help file before using unknown functions?
specially when is a bug and there is not information about it?

Thanks
