Hi Bubby,

I'd already joined the forums and searched the on-line help files before coming here. I'm still working through the forums to see if this issue has been addressed before.

I do thank you for your input though - you usually come through for most people! :)

Good morning everyone! :)

Problems:

I just bought Sandboxie upon recommendation from my friend (Fubar - thanks!) I'll be speaking with him (hopefully,) later in the day, but for now I'd like some information if anyone can provide it please.

Problems:

Installed Sandboxie and read ALL documentation, but it doesn't seem to address these issues;

I still don't fully understand how it works;

I'm running all browsers permanently through the sandbox, as recommended;

I use an external downloader (FDM) which has always been wonderful, however it now launches immediately into the sandbox, delivering the downloaded software there.

It's then very confusing to locate the zip files in the sandbox so I can run them.

When I try to highlight FDM in the sandbox list to remove it permanently, it only stays highlighted for a second, not giving me enough time to do anything with any files.

I'd like to be able to download and install outside of the sandbox, but run the software inside the sandbox, until I'm sure that it's ok, then I'll move it out of the sandbox for future launches.

I am definitely not right clicking on my FDM to tell it to run inside the sandbox.

Now I'm assuming that the reason this is happening, is because the browser (running inside the sandbox,) takes control of FDM and therefore launches it automatically inside the sandbox.

If anyone can please explain the method by which Sandboxie handles such issues, I'd be very grateful. And even more grateful if they can also explain:

How to prevent the browser taking control of FDM;

How to run McAfee SiteAdvisor (connection issue since installing Sandboxie,) inside a sandboxed browser.

I'm so annoyed that I missed both yesterday's game and other software and can't seem to get either today, while I futzed around with trying to understand where the heck the zip files went.

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated, thank you!
