If you open Windows Task Manager you will see a lot of EXEs that don't belong to your first two categories. If all of those EXEs run under the supervision of Sandboxie, your Windows will not work properly. exus69: Automatically executing "unknown executable code" http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=74759#74759 Thu Nov 24, 2011 11:26 am http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=74759#74759 Hello Tzuk, I couldn't post this in feature requests coz it said only administrators can post here. So here's the feature request. Say for eg. .doc, .xls, .pdf are the only 3 forced programs which automatically open Sandboxed. Remaining programs open unsandboxed for eg. mspaint, winzip, vlc player. In this case you can make three categories of programs for eg.Whitelisted(.doc, .xls, .pdf), Ignored(mspaint, winzip, vlc player), unknown(any other executable code executed in the form of .exe, .bat, .vbs). Currently the option to open an unknown exe is to right click and to open it in our newly created Sandbox which many a time an average user can forget. By providing the above solution all files(the ones in the unknown category) which "execute code"(irrespective of the file extension) can open automatically sandboxed. What say?
