   It thinks it is a browser...Firefox 7. I am using Sandboxie Pro 3.54. This is really strange. I have checked associations, folders, shortcuts everything I can think of. I have uninstalled Sandboxie with all settings and when I reinstall, it still opens the icon "Sandboxed Web Browser" as NotePro. This is what shows as Target: "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" default_browser" This is what is in "Start In: "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie" Target for NotePro :"C:\Program Files\NotePro\notepro.exe" and Start In "C:\Program Files\NotePro"

   I didn't install it with Sandboxie. And I had no troubles at all installing NotePro. NotePro opens every time when I click on "Sandboxed Web Browser". I don't want to uninstall NotePro as I was actually thinking of purchasing it. I really like the dictionaries..but Now...

   I went to their forum and did a search and found nothing. I know as this is an older program they probably aren't going to be in a hurry to figure this out. I an just hoping maybe you guys have some ideas.

   Any thoughts???

   If the Target line really reads
   C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" default_browser
   then there is an unwanted quotation mark after Start.exe.

   My theory for the behaviour is then that Sandboxie gets the parameter '" default_browser' instead of 'default_browser' and therefore doesn't treat default_browser as a system variable but as a literal text. Instead it demands Windows to start 'default_browser' and as there is no program with that name Windows will treat it as a document name and launch whatever program is associated with blank file types (or with unrecognized file types). In your case that is NotePro and therefore you get NotePro when you wanted Firefox.

   That is my deduction based on the presently known facts.

   Thanks, Sheepskate. No go! I took it out and it said the file was invalid then.

   Ended up removing/uninstalling NotePro and having to use a restore point from Friday morn so I really didn't lose much since I installed the offending program Friday night. Just uninstalling the program didn't "fixed" my sandbox. Once the program was gone it kept opening IE..which I NEVER use.
