what is this sandbox partition in XP.In my life first time i heard this one

Pls explain me

[mickfarrar]

A folder or drive with rights heavily restricted so all downloaded software, etc can be placed there and checked prior to use.

Rights are normally restricted to stop any programs being run by accident, etc.

Have you considered using Microsoft Virtual PC instead?

[mickfarrar]

May consider vmware suppose but never Virtual PC.

This system was explained to me in detail by a Unix administrator but I never got time to write it down. Will track him down & post the info.

I would strongly encourage VMware over VirtualPC, not because VMWare is not Microsoft, it just functions better and manages resources better. However, there is an abundence of sandbox partition guides on the net. You may be interested in viewing some White Papers too.

I hate to sound rude, but no reason explaining how to configure it when it's widely available.

I too have never heard of a Sandboxed Partition other than using a Sandbox application.

These two are commercial products ShadowUser and DeepFreeze

Also there is AntiMalware

A free and limited Sandbox would be Sandboxie
