Hello, how to make it work on windows start, to start automatically programs in sandboxes. At the moment I must each time to launch manually. Looks like I've put those programs in Program Control (Force Programs, Start Restrictions-allow, Network options-allow, Advanced options-Processes), till each time doesn't load it. What I've missed, couldn't find in manual and YouTube tutorials.


It even doesn't work RUN -> execute autorun Entries

As well:
I've added to .ini file following row, still with no changes:

AutoExec="C:\Users\Darius\AppData\Local\Programs\SalesIQ\SalesIQ.exe"


BTW, thanks for amazing program and I'm using v1.16.3 on latest updates of Windows 10 PRO.

Regards and thanks for a help.

Hello,

AutoExec will only trigger when the sandbox is initialized. This is the case if the sandbox is empty. (I am not sure if it works with snapshots).
StartProgram will trigger every time something start in this sandbox, when nothing is running in it, yet. It will also trigger, when you click on "Execute Autorun Entries", as shown in your screenshot.

In your case, it is StartProgram="C:\Users\Darius\AppData\Local\Programs\SalesIQ\SalesIQ.exe".

StartProgram can occur multiple times, for different applications in the same sandbox. You can use different sandboxes for different applications.

Sandboxie-Plus does not start anything, when its user interface is started.

The force folder or force process setting, only force processes into the defined sandbox, when they are started. For example: ForceProcess=firefox.exe will force the process firefox.exe into that sandbox, when it gets started by the user (or something else). With a force rule in place, Firefox could start on system start and be opened in the sandbox.

You can configure start entries manually. You can use Sandboxie's start.exe to start something in a sandbox. Those can be used for Windows autorun.

If the application in question does not want to start, it might be incomapatible with Sandboxie.

BTW; David will like to hear that his continuation of the project is useful.

I've tried to run (without success, it didn't autorun SalesIQ):

"C:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus\SandMan.exe" /box:CC_SalesIQ C:\Users\Darius\AppData\Local\Programs\SalesIQ\SalesIQ.exe

But it run for example: "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus\SandMan.exe" /box:CC_SalesIQ cmd

So how to trigger an app in that sandbox?
 
Sorry, It worked.

"C:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus\SandMan.exe" /box:CC_SalesIQ C:\Users\Darius\AppData\Local\Programs\SalesIQ\SalesIQ.exe
