Cannot run elevated forced program

Forced programs that require elevated privilege will end up running outside sandbox.


For example,

a2emergencykit.exe

hdtune.exe (after installation)
http://www.hdtune.com/download.html

I suppose the scenario is that you use a standard user account. When you elevate, you have to type the password of a separate administrator account. Is this correct?

I don't think so... My user account is administrator type which pops up a simple yes or no UAC dialogue when elevation is required


Forced program won't work on all of my installed programs which ask for admin priv during launch;

another example is hitman pro.


Each time I have to run them in context menu or use start.exe parameter.



Thanks and best wishes

Perhaps you're using an old version of Sandboxie.

Ok. So to use the program examples from your post at the top: You have "a2emergencykit.exe" and "hdtune.exe" set as forced programs, but when you click on them, they don't start under Sandboxie?

It seems to work as expected for me. I'm not sure what else I can tell you.
