Who cares? Since Sandboxie doesn't do actual virtualization, and all of the
following: desktop context, clipboard, .shared memory section, base name
objects are shared with the host environment, there's not even remotely a
chance to use Sandboxie correctly. Better not use it at all.

Oh, and please learn how to set a fup2.

Could you not suggest recommendations in a less rude manner? Or not at all!

Bear Bottoms, Sebastian isn't being rude. He's not from America.
