So, where did the shortcuts to open programs go? Right-click on the tray icon to show or hide the program, terminate all programs, or disable applications that were forced to run in the sandboxed mode. Right-click inside the pane to create a new box, it's that simple. Sandboxie Plus has two panes, the top one starts with a DefaultBox which is the preset sandbox, and it's located inside a folder in your C: drive. Let me give you a quick overview of how to work with it. If you don't know how to use Sandboxie, refer to my tutorial for it, despite the UI overhaul the core functionality of the new version remains the same. Want the old program? Sandboxie Classic is still maintained and available from the official GitHub page. The SandMan UI is based on Qt, and replaces the old MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class Library) based interface used for SbieCtrl.exe. The GUI is modern and looks user-friendly compared to the legacy version's interface. The biggest change however is of course the main interface of the application, which the developer calls the Sandman UI (short for Sandboxie Manager). Sandboxie Plus has a different icon, it features a sand bucket and a shovel. What's the difference between Sandboxie and Sandboxie Plus? It is maintained by David Xanatos, the developer who created TaskExplorer. "Until the Open Source transition is completed, we have decided to make all restricted features of Sandboxie completely free.There is an officially recognized fork of the original program called Sandboxie Plus, which is also open source. We will release more information about the Open Source project as we continue to work on the details." Sophos states, "After thoughtful consideration, we decided that the best way to keep Sandboxie going was to give it back to its users – transitioning it to an Open Source tool. In essence, the Web site can use the full range of active content tools, and if it uses these tools maliciously to install software or otherwise make changes to your computer, these changes can be easily undone.Īccording to Sophos, the above statement is no longer fully applicable as they transition to Open Source. Thus, there is no trade-off of functionality for security. Instead, it isolates and quarantines the outcome of whatever the Web site may do to your computer, including the installation of unsolicited software. It requires neither the disabling nor blocking of functions available to Web sites through the browser. However, whether these changes are harmless or harmful, they do, in fact, happen to your computer system. Most of the time, these changes are harmless, like recording the addresses of websites you have visited (and when), so the browser can help you complete a web address that you type in. When you browse the web, changes occur to your system.
Sandboxie lets you run programs in an isolated space, which will prevent them from making permanent changes to other programs and data to your computer.
