What is Sandboxie?

Sandboxie is a program designed to provide sandboxed isolation for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows NT systems. David Xanatos has been at the helm of its development since it became open-source, having previously been owned by Sophos, which acquired it from Invincea, the original creator being Ronen Tzur. By establishing an isolated environment, Sandboxie allows users to execute or install software without creating lasting alterations to their local or mapped drives. This virtual separation facilitates the secure testing of untrusted applications and safe browsing activities. Since its transition to open-source, Sandboxie is offered in two distinct versions: the classic build, which utilizes an MFC-based user interface, and the Plus build, boasting new features along with a modern Q't based interface. While many of the latest enhancements are geared towards the Plus version, users can still access several of these features in the classic version by adjusting the sandboxie.ini file. This adaptability provides users with the opportunity to enjoy updates while retaining their preferred traditional interface, ensuring a balance between innovation and familiarity. Additionally, the community surrounding Sandboxie continues to grow, offering support and sharing tips for users to maximize their experience with the software.
