    Hi.

    As I have told many times (starting to sound like a broken record here), I have several sandboxes configured in SBIE.

    Some of them are set to force any program that runs from certain folders, to run sandboxed.
    But I have noticed that this only works for executables. Is there a way to achieve that if I open, for example a jpg picture, the image viewer runs sandboxed?

    Have you tried forcing your image view? Saw a post on forced folders, and it is only for exe's. Same might apply here.

    Yeah I thought about that, but I'm looking to run any file sandboxed, regardless of its file type - docs, ppts, jpgs, pdfs, etc

    It would be very unpractical to sandbox every process by default.

    Maybe this can't be done.

    What i did was create a default sandbox that has no internet access, so if I want to try running something like a jpg I just right click it.

    My PDF program runs fine sandboxed, but MS Word from Office 2007 is a horses back end trying to run sandboxed. That normal.dot thingy just is ornary as the devil.

    Yes, I use that too for downloaded files.
    Just want to automate the process.

    Seems like a nice feature, but maybe overkill :D
    It might make Returnil totally un-needed.

    I wonder why tzuk doesn't want to add total sandboxing to the "force folder" feature...o_O o_O

    His option to run any program sandboxed is better.
    I have a choice to use it or not.:p
