I purchased Sandboxie yesterday.I have two small problems; first one:I use Firefox as a forced program.I use Nitro PDF Professional 6.0.1.8 as my default PDF program.I am not able to read PDF's in my browser.I get an error message like this:''Unable to locate any internal hard drives''I can only save PDF files ,recover and then read those files.
My second problem is:I use PopPeeper as my default e-mail program.I made a new sandbox and named it Sandboxmail.In the program start,Forced folders I put the poppeeper.exe program,and it works,but when I boot up the computer ,poppeeper starts before the sandboxie program initializes,so I have to close poppeeper and restart it to work in sandboxie.
Thanks in advance.

My system is WinXP Pro,2GB RAM ,real time:avira free,mamutu and look'n'stop firewall.

A couple of things..

Have you configured Nitro to work with Sandboxie in Sandboxie Control (Sandboxie Settings - Applications - PDF/Printing). If you have already done so, and it is still not working.. you'll probably have to wait for Tzuk to take a look at the newest versions of Nitro. I looked into the settings.. and Tzuk has compatibility listed for Nitro5.. but perhaps your newer version (Nitro6) has changed things.. So maybe that will need revisiting when he comes here today or tomorrow.

As to the email notifier.. You'll probably have to search the net and look for a good freeware app that delays application startup. I tried one out a few years ago and I found it erratic. I also have a good email notifier.. but I don't sandbox it - as the sandbox prevented full MAPI functioning. My browsers are forced, so if I click on a link, the browsers will take care of protection... If there are attachments, I won't run them anyway, sandboxed or otherwise, until I've scanned them and/or have a damn good idea what they are.

I think delaying or trying to reorder startup is the only thing you can do.

Although I don't normally use NitroPDF 6 to open .pdf files in my browser, I tried it with the following Sandboxie exclusion, and it seems to work OK.
(I have NitroPDF 6, but usually open .pdf's with Foxit Reader)
I've been watching for someone else who uses version 6, to try out the V6 exclusion that I have been using for a while.

The following would be the steps to follow, to apply the NitroPDF 6 setting to a single sandbox:
Sandbox Settings > Resource Access > File Access > Full Access
Click on the "Edit/Add" button and put in the box:
\Device\Mailslot\AstccMailslot*
then click OK a couple of times.

Or,
For someone who knows how to install and apply a local template:
If the local template is used, you can add the following line (in addition to the lines that are already there) in Sandboxie's configuration file under the [GlobalSettings] section, to apply the local template to all sandboxes:
Template=Local_NitroPDF6
----
None of the previous V4 or v5 NitroPDF settings are needed with V6.

If PopPeeper is starting with Windows, then you must have some setting in that program that tells it to start with Windows (possibly in the Registry's 'Run' list).
Or, you have a shortcut to that program in your Startup Group.

If you want to try this method:
You need to disable that setting, or remove the existing shortcut from your Startup Group.
In it's place (since you apparently want the program to start with Windows) you would add a shortcut, to the Startup Group, that you create using Sandboxie's "Add Shortcut Icons" feature:
Dbl-click Sandboxie's tray icon, then click
Configure > Windows Shell Integration > click the "Add Shortcuts Icon" button that's near the right side of that window.
You will then need to select the appropriate sandbox (if you have more than one), and then select the PopPeeper program from the menu that opens.
The shortcut that is created on the Desktop, will run PopPeeper in the sandbox you chose.
Then you need to move that shortcut into your Startup Group.

You can still leave the PopPeeper program forced, in Sandboxie's settings.

Yay,it works,thank you very much.Nitro works in a sandbox.



This worked like a charm.Thanks again.
I am a happy user of sandboxie.

I am using sandboxed poppeeper happily.I want to change one thing.When I start up my computer poppeeper window is on the desktop,I do not want it to be on the desktop I want it to be only in the taskbar.Is there a way to change this?
I think it has to be done in the registry like the avira free nosplash trick.But I do not have enough knowledge.I will be very happy if someone helps.

You might try right-clicking the shortcut that you put in the Startup group, choosing Properties:
then if you see a box called "Run", see if there's a drop-down selection called "Minimized", instead of "Normal Window"
Maybe that will work.
Otherwise, I would guess that it would have to be an option in PopPeeper.

Your solution looks logical,I tried it but it still opens maximized.

How about trying the same procedure with PopPeeper's .exe file?

It is an exe file.Poppeeper can also be used as a portable program.

I tried a couple of things with shortcuts, to sandbox and minimize a program at startup, but no luck with what I've tried.

Sorry that it has taken me so long to do something about this.

In version 3.63.01, I revised the Nitro PDF 6 template to include the AstccMailslot resource as suggested by Guest10.
