Note that the Sandbox folder itself resides on one particular drive, so even as sandboxed programs may create and modify files in multiple drives, all these files will end up residing physically in the same drive – the drive where the Sandbox folder resides.Īpart from the two sub-folders, drive and user, the Sandbox folder itself contains the file RegHive, and typically also RegHive.LOG. This behavior can be affected with the file-related settings OpenFilePath, ReadFilePath, and ClosedFilePath. On the other hand, if a copy for the file does not exist in the sandbox, and if the program does not try to modify the file, then Sandboxie will permit read-only access on the original file outside the sandbox. When a program tries to open a file for which a copy already exists in the sandbox, Sandboxie will redirect the program to the copy of the file that was previously stored in the sandbox. Other files that don’t match either of the above paths are redirected to the sandboxed drive\X folder, where X would be the drive in which the files were supposed to have been written.įiles that are created or modified on a remote network share are redirected into the sandboxed share\servername\sharename folder. If the sandboxed program was trying to create the file C:\Users\joe\Documents\NEW.TXT, it will be redirected to create ( FileRootPath)\user\current\Documents\NEW.TXT.įiles that are created or modified in or below profile (or home) folders, such as C:\Users\joe (on Windows Vista and later) are redirected into the sandboxed user\current folder.įiles that are created or modified in or below the generic (or All Users) profile, are redirected into the sandboxed user\all folder. If the sandboxed program was trying to create the file C:\NEW.TXT, it will be redirected to create instead ( FileRootPath)\drive\C\NEW.TXT. Please note that BoxRootFolder is a deprecated setting.Īs sandboxed programs create new files or modify existing files, Sandboxie redirects these operations to act on paths that lead into the sandbox. In other words, if Box Root Folder specifies the folder C:\MySandbox, then the sub-folders drive and user are created as C:\MySandbox\Sandbox\DefaultBox\drive and C:\MySandbox\Sandbox\DefaultBox\user, respectively, and assuming the sandbox is called DefaultBox. The Box Root Folder setting specifies a path to a group of sandboxes. If the FileRootPath setting is omitted, the BoxRootFolder setting is used instead. In other words, if FileRootPath specifies the folder C:\MySandbox, then the sub-folders drive and user are created as C:\MySandbox\drive and C:\MySandbox\user, respectively. The FileRootPath setting specifies a path to the root of a particular sandbox.
