DOSBox and Sandboxie

Post by Paultx »

Will it be OK if I install and run DOSBox in Sandboxie? And if someone has done this before, can you give me some tips? TIA.

Wouldn't know why there would be problems ......

Question is: Why?
If you mount your virtual C correctly (read the stickies) progs ran in dosbox can only work/influence files/folders in your virtual C folder, they can't access other locations.
In fact dosbox (once again: when used correctly) is a sandboxie on his own.

So: why....?

Is you need more detailed and or tech info on the matter how dosbox works:
