    Hi,
    I just recently discovered the great program 'Sandboxie'.
    As far as I can tell it runs / installs programs in a kind of 'virtual' environment.
    This is great for trying a piece of software and installing via Sandboxie - then if you discover you do not like the software - there is then no need to uninstall as it was 'installed' in Sandboxie.

    Is this correct?

    Any additional thoughts?

    Bye.

    I believe that's right, Ray. I had it installed on my old PC but it slowed it down some. I don't think it would affect a fairly new PC that way.
    But, if I remember right all things done while running it, stay in SandBoxie and you have to manually transfer them to your HDD.
    It is also supposed to prevent malware from infesting your system while on the internet.
    This is the Home page for that app if you haven't seen it.
