I think you're misunderstanding what Sandboxie does. Think if it as a
condom for Windows.
When you run an app in Sandboxie, it sits between the app and
Windows. Any changes the app makes to the system are not saved unless
you explicitly say so.
You can also specify for each app any system resources it can access
explictly. And you can specify that certain apps always run
sandboxed, even when launched by other apps.
Sandboxie is almost like a virtualization except you can apply it on
an app by app basis.

I loved things not being dependent on windows to run. easier to get
rid of too.

I use it as well and love it. One great way to keep nasties from

There's a great episode of the Security Now! podcast dedicated to it.
Be aware that it is not compatible with Vista/Win 7 64-bit due to the
way they changed the security architecture.

Zool,
I have it; have kept it up to date, but have never tried it yet!
Sandboxie.com comes highly suggested on the ESET/Wilders security
forums.
However, I suspect that many/most of the shares on this forum might
have bigger "tin-hats" than I. I just do not know.
Much of this "virtual" area stuff still leaves me scratching my
head.
Although, since moving to ESET, I've been infection-free (2006).
Thanks again, Thane!!!!
Best,
Duncan
