It creates a sandboxed, sandboxed operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without constantly changing the local or mapped drive. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it went open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (who acquired it from Invincea who previously acquired it from the original author Ronen Tzur). Sandboxie is sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. Sandboxie allows you to launch your browser or any other program so that all changes resulting from use are saved in a sandbox environment, which can then be removed later.
