Cant seem to get Internet explorer working in sandbox in v0.7.2

[NyarlathotepZERO]

I used to have Internet explorer working as a 'forced program' in a specific sandbox, never had a problem. I just updated to 0.7.2 and I can no longer get it to run successfully.

I have tried enabling all the specific 'internet explorer' templates, also the ';' templates. I tried forcing the folder as well as the .exe its self (also each separately) I tried forcing the IE shortcut link

The sandbox is just the default sandbox settings (aside from the changes I mentioned above)

Ways I got it to run were;

1. By right clicking on the sandbox>Run>Run from start menu; then browsing to the IE shortcut.
2. Set the link as a 'forced program' Then when I right click the sandbox and hit Run>Run program. Then without even setting a program to run, it is automatically launched.
3. Using the 'run program' option from right clicking the sandbox, then choosing the iexplore.exe from the default folder.

When updating Sandboxie, I deleted contents off all sandboxes, then removed them all, starting with (what I thought was) a completely fresh sandbox, ini etc.

I'm kind of out of ideas, but in case it helps, below is the ini section for the IE sandbox.

Enabled=y ConfigLevel=8 AutoRecover=n BlockNetworkFiles=y RecoverFolder=%{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}% RecoverFolder=%Personal% RecoverFolder=%Desktop% BorderColor=#00ffff,ttl,6 Template=IExplore_Favorites_RecoverFolder Template=IExplore_ProtectedStorage Template=IExplore_Credentials Template=IExplore_Feeds_DirectAccess Template=IExplore_Cookies_DirectAccess Template=IExplore_History_DirectAccess Template=IExplore_Favorites_DirectAccess Template=IExplore_Force Template=SkipHook Template=FileCopy Template=qWave Template=BlockPorts Template=LingerPrograms Template=Chrome_Phishing_DirectAccess Template=Firefox_Phishing_DirectAccess Template=AutoRecoverIgnore ForceProcess=C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Internet Explorer.lnk BoxNameTitle=n BlockNetParam=y DropAdminRights=n FakeAdminRights=n ClosePrintSpooler=n OpenPrintSpooler=n AllowSpoolerPrintToFile=n StartProgram=C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe CopyLimitKb=81920 CopyLimitSilent=n NeverDelete=n AutoDelete=n AllowRawDiskRead=n NotifyDirectDiskAccess=n

I can reproduce the same issue of @NyarlathotepZERO on Sandboxie 5.49.0, and the workaround reported above (unticking the option "Enable third party extensions") didn't work for me.

In order to reproduce the crash of iexplore.exe, it's enough to put this in the sandbox: Template=IExplore_Force

EDIT: Found the reason of the crash, it's the presence of BoxNameTitle=n inside the sanbox that doesn't allow IE to be forced. There is a conflict between BoxNameTitle=n and Template=IExplore_Force.

I think that BoxNameTitle=n could be removed, as workaround.

@DavidXanatos Any further confirmation would be welcome. Is BoxNameTitle=n deprecated? Or just another issue to fix?

I opened IE (non sandboxed), unchecked the aforementioned box and then reloaded IE (sandboxed as a forced folder). This fixed the issue of IE not loading, perfectly.

Although it is a tad strange that I had it working fine in the earlier version of Sandboxie. Thanks for the solution David.
