The facts are Sandboxie is a great concept very poorly executed in terms of easy or intuitive use. I get really annoyed at reviews like yours that are hardly relevant to an average user (you know what I mean Here). How often do such reviews really point out poor interface design. For God's sake, why would anyone use a process description like "Recover files" - the files re not lost! A simple question "Do you want to save outside the sandbox" would be much more helpful. That's just an example. The program is riddled with such hard to understand questions & labels, the designer even saw fit to post a 6 part "Getting Started" guide. Did you read that? NO ........ I thought so. I gave up at part 5 & exited Sandboxie, trying to do so intuitively, so that the stuff inside would be "wiped clean" (thats my description which you won't find anywhere in Sandboxie). I knew it would happen ....... YES the desktop icon that the guide set out to show would NOT remain was there plain as day. Very disappointing, I can't use what I can't reasonably understand or feel sure about. Now I give you full permission to post my "review".

NO …….. I thought so.
