"forced program" doesn't work

Post by wardance »

Hello, I'm using the latest sandboxie plus.
I've tried to add several common programs like firefox, chrome to the forced programs list in the default sandbox options, which also has default settings. Afterwards, none of those programs run automatically inside a sandbox.

If I right click the programs and ask it to run inside sandbox then it's OK.

I don't know if I have a misunderstanding on how "forced program" works.

Thanks.

I am sorry to hear that this did not work for you. I hope that this has resolved in the time that has passed, since it should work like you intend it to work.

Adding:

Code: Select all

ForceProcess=processname.exe
where processname is replaced by the name of the binary, like firefox.exe, makes it run in the box this is added to.

For Firefox there is also a template:

Code: Select all

Template=Firefox_Force
which could be added to the Sandboxie.ini

And there is also

Code: Select all

ForceFolder=
where you can point to a folder in which everything that gets started gets launched in the sandbox.
