Byte Order Mark

This feature was removed since v0.6.5 / 5.47.0.

ByteOrderMark was a global setting in Sandboxie Ini. It was typically specified as ByteOrderMark=y (see Yes Or No Settings), and indicated that Sandboxie Control should insert a UTF-16 UNICODE Byte Order Mark (BOM) character at the top of the configuration file.

Usage:

   .
   .
   .
   [GlobalSettings]
   ByteOrderMark=y

This setting must be edited into Sandboxie Ini, then Sandboxie configuration must be manually reloaded. Following this, the next time Sandboxie Control rewrites the configuration, it will insert the UNICODE BOM character into the very first two bytes in the Sandboxie Ini configuration file, thus: (hex.) FF FE.

You need only bother with this setting if both these statements are true:

• You plan to edit the Sandboxie Ini file manually;
• Your text editor cannot recognize that Sandboxie Ini file is a UNICODE text file.
