Download Sandboxie 3.62

Version 3.62 of Sandboxie has been released. With this program it is possible to run other programs under Windows in a protected environment. That way, changes made by programs like Internet Explorer are easy to undo. In addition, there is no risk that important parts of the operating system will be affected. Sandboxie can be used on Windows 2000 and above; a lifetime license costs 34.50 euros. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Bug Fixes

• Sandboxie Control would crash if one of the Quick Recovery folders is a reparse point
• Sandboxie Control would not forget its window size and position in a multiple monitor setup.
• A file that matches a direct access setting could be handled incorrectly (1) if renamed to a name which no longer matches any direct access settings; or (2) if its parent folder did not exist outside the sandbox.
• Direct access exclusions to window class names would not always apply under 64-bit Windows.
• Incorrect handling of access to files in the sandbox using a file ID rather than a file name.
• Improved dropping of files into the Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers in a drag-and-drop scenario.
