Sandboxie Forum - Favorite list not showing in IE7 when sandboxed. (1415)

I have stumbled across a feature of IE which may be related to this. Use Internet Options from the Control Panel, and view the Advanced tab (last one). There is a list of Accessibility options, then Browsing options. In the Browsing category, there is "Enable personalized favorites menu." I don't really understand this feature, but I think it's supposed to hide favorites that are not used often. Perhaps with Sandboxie, IE thinks all favorites are not used often, for some reason. So, my question, do you have that checked? If so, clear it, delete sandbox (to make sure the changed setting will apply in the sandbox), then restart IE. Anything different?

Well, I changed the location of Favorites back to the default - C: drive and my Favorites show up in both sandboxed and non-sandboxed versions of I.E. (so I reverted the location back to my D: drive). However, since trying that out, and updating with the lastest Windows Critical Upddates, my I.E. now takes one and a half minutes to load - same as my Outlook Express (as per my posting Laptop Locking Up - but that's another problem!)

I have changed several settings in I.E. as recommended by various sources especially to tighten up security. However, it struck me that one thing I have done in relation to Favorites is that, when I installed I.E., I used TweakUI to move my Favorites folder from its default location (C: drive) to my D: drive. I partitioned my hard drive: C: for operating system I.E. etc; D: drive for data ; E: drive for all other programs/applications. Now, chances are that has absolutely nothing to do with your snag. But if I get the chance, I stick Favorites back to its default location and see if I can see them in the Sandboxed I.E.

It's no consolation but I'm running Win2k SP4 and also IEv6SP1, and my Favorites are showing identically in both sandboxed I.E. and non-sandboxed I.E. If you want to cross-refence any settings or Sandboxie trace stuff from my machine, let me know. Martin

No plugins, it's a plain IEv6SP1 on a win2kSP4.

Well, it's still a mystery. If you have patience to play with this, try following the suggestions in this topic, or try to find if you have any special plugin or other kind of software that is causing this weirdness.

The same issue is here at w2kSP4 and IEv6. I have reported this ~month ago.

I have no idea what could be causing this. How about a [url=http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?SandboxieTrace]SandboxieTrace[/url]? Not sure it'll reveal anything, but I think we might as well try it. It would be best if you enable the trace for only FileTrace=ad, then start a sandboxed command prompt and do that "dir" command. This way you could post just the last 20-30 trace lines, they should represent the "dir" command and we could see what's going on.

Can you see them listed if you run an unsandboxed cmd and type this command? If yes, Try to move all your (unsandboxed) favorites to another folder, so the folder remains empty. Then start sandboxed IE. Do you see favorites now? You should probably get a few favorites that go to Microsoft.

I have similar problem too, also can't see the favourites in a sandboxed IE session. I'm running IE 6. But I have remapped the favourites directory to D drive. I suspect Sandboxie has problem with that. Please see my other post about problems with remapped My Documents and Desktop.

so let me get it straight whats happening, for this example im gonna use Opera, under Opera, when you click bookmarks, you see: Bookmark Page Manage Bookmarks and then below Manage bookmarks you see all your bookmarks youve added, well lets say you were having this problem with Opera, then that would mean that you can see Bookmark Page, and Manage Bookmarks, but you dont see all of your bookmarks though that should be listed under Manage Bookmarks, am i right? well, the only thing i can think is that maybe if you set SBIE to open path to your favorites folder, than maybe they would shww up in your sandboxed IE7, just one warning though, your favorites would no longer be Sandboxed anymore, IE7 as well as everything else would be sandboxed, just not your favorites.

Sorry if you feel you were being ignored earlier when you posted this. There were times with so many problem reports, it's just difficult for me to deal with everything. And sometimes other people don't care enough to say anything either. :( Can you make this a bit clearer. Do you mean that the favorites aren't there, or just their window isn't displayed correctly? If you invoke Oragnize Favorites from the menu, do you see them?[/quote] I wasn't being critical of you or the forum members, just bringing the problem back up for help. To answer your questions: Clicking on Favorites in IE7 shows the following three items - "Add to favorites" "Add tab group to favorites" (greyed out) and "Organize favorites", the favorite list is not shown. Clicking on "Add to favorites" brings up the add a favorite screen. In the "create in panel" clicking on the down arrow shows the favorites list, adding an item to the list works but the list is still not shown under "Favorites". Clicking on "Organize favorites" brings up a blank screen. Clicking on new folder in the "Organize favorites" brings up an error message "An error has occurred in this dialog error:59 unspecified error. Any help in rectifying the problem would be mush appreciated.

I am a relatively new user to sandboxie, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help. I bet Tzuk will be able to figure it out though. He has pretty much quickly resolved every issue I have had with the program.

I've posted this problem previously but had no replies for my plea for assistance. The problem - If I run Internet Explorer 7 sandboxed my favorites list doesn't show, this happens with all versions from 2.80 up to 2.86. However, Internet Explorer 7 shows the favorite list correctly when not sandboxed. I'm now running version 2.64 and the favourite list shows correctly when sandboxed. As I had no replies to my pervious message it would seem that I may be the only one having the problem - it would be nice to know if anyone else can, or can't see the favourite list while sandboxing IE 7 using versions 2.80 upwards?
