I used it once to run an exe that was suspected of doing bad things to allow myself to track exactly what it does, it was quite useful. Ehren J.

It's really a nice added layer of security, and the program is quite polished already. It even has a feature by which sandboxes can be set to allow programs within them to communicate with a screen reader. While working with the program, I didn't notice any performance hits, and a high percentage of applications ran without a hitch. However, use of Sandboxie does introduce some extra complexity. For example, If I ran my browser in a sandbox, I couldn't get the connection to my Netgear SSL VPN Concentrator to work properly. Admittedly though, I didn't spend a lot of time on it, and there may have very well been a way.
