You replied to me in the thread although your comment is addressed
to Caroline. But anyway, what you say is exactly what I was pointing
out to Caroline, although I didn't know the name of the folder.

I was amazed at what was in that folder. There was a C, D, and F drive in
that location. It had a LOT of old data that I didn't know was in there,
probably, in hindsight, from correct usage of Sandboxie.

However, the files I had moved inside the Sandboxie external folder on the
D drive weren't there. Remember, I had accidently *put* files from outside
of Sandboxie into Sandboxie so my problem is a bit different.

I'm reading all you can tell me though and learning. I really don't know
how to get these files back out of Sandboxie. Keep the suggestions coming!

And, Happy New Year!

Caroline

Check adjacent folders...you may have put them in another folder without
realizing it.

I wish. The files went into Sandboxie by the back door and never came out.

Of course it's my fault. But others should be forewarned. Sandboxie is
dangerous if used incorrectly as I did.

I am not so sure if that assumption is but a bit premature to call at this
point.
