I asked. Here is the forum question titled:
How to recover slid files into the Sandboxie-controlled dir?

How does one recover files accidentally slid into the Sandboxie-controlled
folder using the Windows XP explorer?

I had Sandboxie 3.01 running which I only "use" when I wish to run the
Firefox browser on WinXP.
I then slid some files (moved) outside of Sandboxie using the Windows
explorer into the Sandboxie-controlled folder.
When I doubleclick into the Sandboxie controlled folder, I get the error
message (no matter what I try):
"Access is denied"

In reconstructing what happened, I seem to have a Sandboxie-controlled
folder:
D:\Sandbox

I had a folder containing some data files that I did NOT wish to delete
(pictures):
D:\New Folder

In cleaning up my hard disk in preparation for a backup burn, I moved in
Windows explorer (outside of Sandboxie) the folder "D:\New Folder" and all
its subfolders into "D:\Sandboxie\New Folder".

When I click, in Windows explorer, on "D:\Sandboxie\New Folder" I get the
error:
D:\Sandboxie\New Folder is not accessible. Access is denied

I read the FAQ but did not see this out-of-context use model discussed (it
was an accident).
Sandboxie is almost completely in default mode (maybe even completely in
default mode).
"Function -> Contents of Sandbox -> {Explore Contents, Recover Files}" does
not work.

How do I recover files inadvertently slid into the Sandboxie-controlled
folder?

Here is one response from the Sandboxie forum but I tried all the
suggestions and none worked.

For others to see, here is the suggestion from the forum.




I believe Sandboxie restricts what can happen in these folders. Can you
simply copy your "New Folder" to a different location? If not, try closing
Sandboxie Control, then bring up Task Manager and end SbieSvc. See if you
can access the files now.

If all else fails, reboot into Safe Mode and move your files.
