Sandboxie is a free and
open-source program that runs on systems using the Microsoft Windows operating system that
allows you to run other programs in a secure
sandbox.
If you wish to run programs in Sandboxie without the programs having
administrative rights, even if you are running Sandboxie from an account
that is in the system's administrator group, you can do so by editing the
Sandboxie configuration file, Sandboxie.ini. The file will usually be in the
C:\Windows folder on most systems running a Microsoft Windows
operating system. Sandboxie will first look for its configuration file
in C:\Windows, but if it doesn't find the file there, it will then
look in the Sandboxie installation folder, which will usually be
C:\Program Files\Sandboxie or
C:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus. When it finds an instance of
the file, it will not check other locations. There is a DropAdminRights
setting that can be used in the file. If you set the value to
y for a sandbox, then any programs running in the sandbox
will have administrative rights stripped from them, i.e,. the security
credentials used to start the sandbox won't include membership in the
Administrators and Power Users groups. If you are running Sandboxie
from an account that is not an administrator account, then the setting
won't have any effect.
