Hi,

I am attempting to set up a simple way for my wife to work within a sandboxed browser she can get used to (Firefox) while ensuring that when accessing certain sensitive sites these are opened for her automatically in another unsandboxed browser window (which can be IE, Chrome or Firefox) under the control of Trusteer Rapport (which as you probably know does not run in Sandboxie).

[Because the sensitive sites may be accessed many times in a day, the idea here is that there is no need to constantly consider the switching of browsers].

At present the Firefox addon IE View Lite (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-view-lite/) enables me to specify a list of sites which when called in a sandboxed Firefox will automatically open in Internet Explorer. This works well - and all the 'sensitive' sites open in IE. But they open sandboxed (after needing permissions from Sandboxie to start IE) - so that the Trusteer Rapport functionality needed is missing.

Is there a way, in the above situation, to get sandboxed Firefox to automatically open an unsandboxed instance of IE? Or am I trying to do something which Sandboxie is purposely designed not to allow at all?

With thanks, discs.

SB 3.72(64bit); Windows 7 Home Premium x64; IE9; Firefox 13.01.

There's no way for a sandboxed program to start and run an unsandboxed program, at least not at this time.

There is no way to configure something like that in Sandboxie, but there is a contributed utility that might let you do that:

Thanks, Paul and tzuk for your replies. Thanks for your suggestion, tzuk, pointing to Sandboxie Reflector.

Although not particularly au fait with DOS commands etc. I have pursued this option - and firstly got far enough with setting up SandboxieReflector to at least generate an unsandboxed instance of IE from the command prompt. (Carl's instructions are good and clear).

My aim of generating an unsandboxed IE through using a SandboxieReflector call even 'seems to work' with a command issued through IE View Lite's own command line and parameters in a sandboxed Firefox - but with an error about processing the desired website: Reflector sees it as an unknown argument (always an http(s) address, passed, I assume, to Reflector by IE View Lite).

It would probably be better if I pursue my aim to resolve this in the relevant section of the contributed utilities forum.

Thanks, as always, for Sandboxie.

Hi,

Just wanted to say a concluding thank you.

After I reread Carl's instructions on using SandboxieReflector - and managed to understand how arguments and parameters worked in the calls - I have managed to get the exact result I was looking for/described in my original post.

I will say a separate thank you to Carl in the contributed utilities forum.
