Renaming a box with sandboxed run entries can break those entries.

[bastik-1001]

Describe what you noticed and did

1. Create a new box (like NewBox2) where the path contains %sandbox% (Users are separated as well)
2. Add something to the sandbox, like placing example.exe at C:\example\ or something similar
3. Add a run entry, via the options for that box or by selecting the running process and select "Pin to Run Menu", where adds RunCommand=example.exe|"C:\Sandbox\username\NewBox2\drive\C\example\example.exe" to its ini section.
4. The entry in the run menu shows the icon and works just fine.
5. Rename the box to something else, like "Example"
6. (Obviously) the entry still points to the path with NewBox2 and therefore does not show the icon or function anymore

This might also be a problem when the box now named "Example" points to entries in NewBox2, and since the name NewBox2 is available, a newly created box can have that name, get filled with content that matches the run entry for Example and so Sandboxie executes example.exe from NewBox2, even though the user intended it to be from the Example box.

How often did you encounter it so far?

Affected program

Sandman.exe

Where is the program located?

The program is installed both inside and outside the sandbox.

Expected behavior

Trying to ensure that when a box is renamed, its run entries are not being broken.

I am not sure, if whenever it gets added via the box option or the right click menu, it can simply contain %sandbox% instead of the folder name.

Starting with 1.9.4 box root paths will be replaced by %BoxRoot%
please note that this fix will not be retroactively applied to already created RunCommand entries
