7.2 Sandbox management
The XReg tool allows creation and management of one or more virtual environment sandboxes.
A sandbox contains all of a virtual application's isolated data and settings as determined by the virtual
application's isolation configuration settings. Applications registered to the same sandbox can view and modify
each others' virtualized data and settings.
By default, all applications are registered into a single default sandbox named Default. In some cases, it may be
desirable to group related applications into a sandbox that can be treated as a single management unit. For
example, when a sandbox is reset, all of the application content and data stored in that sandbox is purged and
reverted back to the default state.
Creating a sandbox
If no sandbox is specified during registration, the application will be registered to the default sandbox (Default).
To create an additional sandbox, use one of the following commands:
XReg.exe [Profile] /create SandboxName [SandboxPath]
XReg.exe [Profile] /c SandboxName [SandboxPath]
If no path is provided, a default path is created under the AppData folder under the specified profile.
Resetting a sandbox
Resetting a sandbox reverts all changes made to the sandbox, including any changes to data or settings made by
the user. This restores all applications registered to the sandbox to their default state. To reset a sandbox, use one
of the following commands:
XReg.exe [Profile] /reset [SandboxSpec]
XReg.exe [Profile] /r [SandboxSpec]
If a SandboxSpec is not supplied, the default sandbox is reset.
Deleting a sandbox
Deleting a sandbox removes all applications, data, and settings from the sandbox. To delete a sandbox, use one of
the following commands:
XReg.exe [Profile] /delete [SandboxSpec]
XReg.exe [Profile] /d [SandboxSpec]
If a SandboxSpec is not supplied, the default sandbox will be reset (the default sandbox cannot be deleted). Any
applications registered to the deleted sandbox will be moved to the default sandbox.
Moving a sandbox
You can use XReg to move the sandbox location to a given path. To move a sandbox, use the following command:
XReg.exe [Profile] /move SandboxSpec SandboxPath
