Title: autosandbox_where are files
Post by: bluenite on April 20, 2011, 11:05:42 AM
in the case of virtualization startup program this creates a hidden install directory.
After program uninstall this directory will be deleted. We can find its location, during program running?
thx for advice
Peter

I could be wrong, but I think everything is redirected to the avast sandbox folder. A specially hidden folder with all sandbox contents inside it. There is a tool to unhide it. Would you like it?

To see and manage the sandbox contents:
1) Download the snxConfig tool from here : http://public.avast.com/~kurtin/snxConfig.exe
2) Close all sandboxed applications.
3) Execute the snxConfig tool.
4) Uncheck "Hide $target folder" and click "Apply"and "OK".

And you should look by default on C:\ for the ' ## aswSnx private storage ' folder.

just for info, you can also see it in safe mode, or in normal mode using Recuva (piriform), and set it to scan non-deleted files.
