Introduction to the Sandbox

Sandboxie runs your applications in an isolated abstract area called sandbox. Under the supervision of Sandboxie, applications can run properly at full speed, but do not cause permanent changes to your computer. Instead, the changes take effect only in the sandbox.

Getting Started

Find the Sandboxie Control program from the Start menu of Windows and click it to open the Sandboxie Control console. Click Help and select Getting Started. You can view the basic usage principles of Sandboxie according to the tutorial.

Application Scenarios

You can install Sandboxie on the APS to use the same application when there are multiple applications and sessions.
