Sandboxie VS Files

I used to use sandboxie so I could emulate multiple browser sessions without worrying about cached creds or the different portals screwing up my context. It works decently.

Use Sandboxie on Windows. It's open source these days, and isolates processes from making changes on your system. It's perfect to install and run potentially unsafe programs. Sandboxie exists since 2003, and yet we still have people in business worlds running viruses from mail attachments.

Sandboxie

You can allow applications inside a Sandboxie to communicate with each other through sockets even when network access by Sandboxie is blocked1. You can enable Sandboxie network access and use Windows firewall outside Sandboxie to block all applications inside the Sandboxie from accessing the network1. It is also possible to specify ports that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2. However, it is not possible to specify IP’s or IP ranges that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2.

In addition to just taking all privileges way from the process, like Chrome does, there's also Sandboxie [1] and the official Windows Sandbox [2]

VirtualBox dropped 3D acceleration for old OS like XP a while back, you can see it it running "dxdiag" on your windows XP and running the tests, it will do DirectDraw only since the game is a 32 bit windows game it should run on modern windows like 10 and 11, I saw that the main problem is the DRM, so you will need a "cracked/pached" exe, I can't help with that, but do your own search, if you want to be "safe" you can try running it using something like SandBoxie-plus https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases

With those pre-reqs, is there anything Windows Sandbox can do that Sandboxie can't?

Could you pls. test if the vulnerability can be mitigated by using Sandboxie-Classic (that is the free version)?

I also want to recommand this piece of small software but it's very neat, Sandboxie: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie

This explorer replacement has tagging https://files.community/

I have the https://files.community/ app installed because I like the modern UI, but it's just too darn slow.

Dear u/Daddy_Spez So I was downloading from files.community and during the installation this error showed up ''App installation failed with error message: error 0x80070422: Opening the package from location Files.Package_2.5.11.0_x64_ARM64_Preview.msixbundle failed. (0x80070422)'' I tried enabling windows update service as told by youtube but that didnt work. Pls help

This is everybody's regular scheduled reminder that files is just better than Explorer.

Is this a real app? If not, I recommend you to suggest these changes to https://files.community

You'd probably like Files which more or less is explorer+

I use Files instead of Explorer because of crap like this.

You could try a third-party alternative (The one I use is Files)
