the option in ais sandbox settings=store files in special storage in sandbox.where is this folder located at on my drive?
They’re at a specially hidden folder called “## aswSnx private storage” on each partition.

Normally, whenever an application is launched in the sandbox, avast! creates a special sandbox storage area for that application and where virtualized files/folders are saved. This sandbox storage is then normally deleted when the application is terminated. If the box “Store files in special storage in the sandbox…” is checked, a completely separate sandbox storage will be used for web browsers and this will not be automatically deleted when the browser is terminated. This means that the next time the browser is launched, it will use the same sandbox storage from the previous browser session, which will therefore improve the browser’s performance.
Ah…you asked where, not what…oops…

Would that tool work for me also? Here’s my issue:
When I download nzb files through my browser, my newsgroup program opens in the sandbox. All of the rar files download virtually, and the files unrar in the sandbox also. I have a path set in my newsgroup program, but the files never appear there. They are physically somewhere on my PC, but I can’t find them through the search. ??? ??? ???
Any ideas?
Thanks
