I don't get it, is there priviledge escalation attacks for windows? I haven't logged in as an administrator since 2005 or so.

We know we can hit the windows key and type "sandbox"? (May need to "install" it from windows features.) Right?

There are software packages that let you snapshot the files and checksums, then compare again after you've run your test program / installer / whatever.

You can make this software "portable" so you don't have to install it every time. You can copy and paste into the sandbox from your windows desktop and drives.

Obviously this isn't sanboxie or nix or an immutable file system or anything, but let us not pretend it's 1996 and "GoBack.exe" hasn't been invented yet.
