SafeZone doesn't work without administrative rights
« on: October 19, 2012, 09:33:50 PM »
Hello! After marking "Drop administrative rights..." in SafeZone settings (see the screenshot below) safe browser doesn't open any web page. I just can see unhappy smile in it and message: "Aw, snap! Something went wrong..." etc. But without that mark in settings SafeZone works excellent. Why is it so?

Hi: I was Just curious as to why you would want to drop your Admin rights in "SafeZone"? ??? :)

I just test all functions of this software. And if this feature have no sence and doesn't work, why does it exist in settings?

Thanks for testing!
I couldn't simulate it on my Win7 32-bit and Win8 32-bit. I'll remove checking this option in SafeZone, because it has no meaning there. Thanks!

Just for the record: :) Removing the check in Safe Zone also removes it in Sandbox

Hi Pete. Do you mean,

1/. You'll remove the effect that checking/unchecking the "Drop administrative rights..." box in the "Virtualization Parameters" dialog, currently has on the SafeZone?

2/. You'll create separate "Expert Settings" dialogs for Sandbox and SafeZone, the latter not including "Drop administrative rights..."?

3/. Something else?

I beleve it is a Sandbox option, and not a SafeZone option. Or am I missing something ?

I was able to access the Net just fine with IE vituralized and the box checked in Sandbox Parameters
