That also counts Couching new Sandbox. With the help of many useful functions, all installation files and Registry entries track down a piece of software and use this knowledge in a targeted manner.

 

As a Example should the software here Free YouTube to MP3 Converter installed and run in a new sandbox. Then the Contents as well as the Registry entries looked at the software.

 

Create a new sandbox

Generally stand for it two Procedures to disposal:

1. The new software is listed via the existing Sandbox DefaultBox.

2. A new sandbox of its own is created for the software and installed and executed there.

In order to be able to explain another advantage of the sandbox at a later point in time, a new sandbox for the program created.

 

This is in the menu above Sandbox > Create a new sandbox is possible.

 

It must be a now appropriate name for the sandbox. This example was chosen for Music decided. The new sandbox is now created.

 

Install software in the sandbox

Once the new sandbox has been created, it is opened via a Right click and the context menu this and choose the command Start in the sandbox > Windows Explorer start.

Attention! With the freeware from Sandboxie, only one sandbox can be started at a time. For example, if you want to run the MP3 converter and the Internet browser in parallel, both programs must be installed in a sandbox.

 

Find installation files and registry entries

Via the context menu of the respective sandbox, the View content. So if you only have one program installed on a sandbox, you can do exactly that localize all filesthat were installed or created by the program.

 

In a new window all Areas displayed in the amendments performed became. Behind Drive all hide driveswhich can then be viewed in detail.

 

Most interesting for many, however, are those Registry entries. The file RegHive indicates this. With the knowledge of which registry entries a software creates or which of them remain after an deinstallation, certain software versions can be easily looked through. Trial versions could also be one of them.

 

If you open the registry editor in the normal way via the Windows operating system, Windows key + R > regedit, navigate here to the following key:

HKEY_USERS \ Sandbox_Username_Name of the sandbox

Attention! In order to find this key, the respective sandbox must be active beforehand. So you have to start the program from the sandbox and then look at the registry.
