Updated to Sandboxie 3.56 without issue. The browsing with Firefox maybe a tad faster, but it's nothing to right home about. Remember, I'm on a P4 XP SP3 machine, so I really don't any great leaps in speed. Solid protection is more important to me.
I just want to thank everyone for all of the update notices lately. It's been a challenge to keep up.

2 questions regarding Sandboxie:
1. How do I create links on my desktop to my browsers that will open Sandboxed? Opera is my default, so it opens when I click "Sandboxed Web Browser". But, how do I put links on my desktop for opening IE 9 and FF sandboxed? 2. If I use email software (Outlook or Thunderbird) to download my email from either MSN or Gmail, can I keep my email program in a Sandbox? It could create some problems, but my email can remain on the Gmail/MSN servers? I guess the issue would be backing up my pst file....

Bo can probably answer your question about shortcuts better than me but the email one i know. Open the Sandboxie control window/ sandbox dropdown/ whatever sandbox you are configuring (default box on the free version)/ sandbox settings/ applications/ email reader. Then just select your email client and add it, apply it and click ok. When you've done this go to the restrictions (sandbox settings again) and make sure your email client can access the internet. I just use the right click menu on the Thunderbird shortcut to then run my Thunderbird sandboxed.

browsers is very easy. Go to Sandboxie Control>Configure>Software compatibility. Click add more desktop shortcuts and they will be created on your desktop. http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?ConfigureMenu#shell I run my email on Outlook Express, it works perfectly sandboxed. Create a separate sandbox for OE and configure it properly in order for emails to be saved. Its easy to do. Go to Sandboxie Control>Applications>EMail Reader and click to add OE. http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?FAQ_Email As you can see by garth description, its very easy to get OE working, get it going on default settings first to make sure its working properly then harden the sandbox so it becomes impenetrable. Hardening the sandbox means restricting what can run and connect to the internet in this sandbox. On my OE sandbox I only allow to connect Outlooks two processes and Firefox. Start/Run is limited to Outlooks two processes, Firefox and Foxit, my PDF Reader. Try it first on default, then make the restrictions. For Restricting the sandbox go Sandboxie Control>Sandbox>sandbox OE>Sandboxsettings>Restrictions. Bo |

One more question, I am noticing a significant slow down with Opera while sandboxed. Is this normal?
