Question regarding the "Sandboxie" program

(1/2) > >>

Nzyme:
I would like to know whether the following functionality is available in Sandboxie:
 
Currently, when a program is installed outside of a sandbox and then if a new sandbox is created or if an existing sandbox is opened, we see the installed program in the sandbox too (that is, changes in the actual system are carried into any sandbox). I would like to know if it is possible to restrict changes from the "actual" system to the "sandbox"?
 
Currently, the opposite functionality exists, that is any change in a sandbox is not carried to the actual system but would like to have it the other way around.
 
Thanks!

But maybe you should give an example, in order to better visualize what you are asking for.

Not sure it is possible the way it works.  If you create a file C:\foo.txt, then you will access it in every created sandbox, then if you delete it in regular mode, it will also be deleted for all apps run from sandboxes.  If not, you would have to store this, and a huge amount of data.

You may get something close to what you want by using something like shadowdefender + sandboxie but it depends on what you want to perform I guess.
