Windows sisteminize kurdugunuz ya da denediginiz programlarin iz birakmadan silinmesi icin uretilmis bir yazilimdir. Program belirlediginiz bir klasoru sanal registry ve sanal disk olarak kullanir. Bundan boyle sisteminize kurdugunuz ya da denediginiz programlar sistemce okunur ama yazilamaz. Yazdigini sansa bile bunu sanal diske yazar. Bu sanal diskin kontrolu sizin elinizde olacagindan istediginiz gibi temizleyebilirsiniz. Boylece hem zarar veremez hem de kontrol sizin elinizde olur. ornegin sisteminiz icin bir arsivleme programi ariyorsunuz. ornek vermek gerekirse Winzip, Winrar, 7-zip vs. tum bunlari denemek icin kurdunuz. Ardindan begenmeyip kaldirmak istediniz ancak ne kadar kaldirsaniz bile sisteminizde iz birakir. Kendi loglarini, sistem dosyalarini ozellikle sikca birakir. Ama bir setup dosyasina sag tiklayip run sandboxed dediginiz anda sandboxie`nin sanal diskine kurulum yaparsiniz. O programin butun yararli - zararli dosyalari daha evvelden belirledigimiz sanal diske ve sanal registry`e kaydolur. Silmek istediginiz zaman delete sandbox deyip temizlik yapabilirsiniz. Boylelikle gercek sisteminize hicbir sey kaydedilmez...

When you run a program on your computer, data flows from the hard disk to the program via read operations. The data is then processed and displayed, and finally flows back from the progam to the hard disk via write operations.For example, if you run the Freecell program to play a game, it starts by reading the previously recorded statistics, displaying and altering them as you play the game, and finally writing them back to disk for future reference.The illustration shows the key component of Sandboxie: a transient storage area, or sandbox. Data flows in both directions between programs and the sandbox. During read operations, data may flow from the hard disk into the sandbox. But data never flows back from the sandbox into the hard disk.

If you run Freecell inside the Sandboxie environment, Sandboxie reads the statistics data from the hard disk into the sandbox, to satisfy the read requested by Freecell. When the game later writes the statistics, Sandboxie intercepts this operation and directs the data to the sandbox.

If you then run Freecell without the aid of Sandboxie, the read operation would bypass the sandbox altogether, and the statistics would be retrieved from the hard disk.

The transient nature of the sandbox makes it is easy to get rid of everything in it. If you were to throw away the sandbox, by deleting everything in it, the sandboxed statistics would be gone for good, as if they had never been there in the first place.
