Prompt On Secure Desktop

PromptOnSecureDesktop is a global sandbox setting in Sandboxie Ini available since v1.16.0 / 5.71.0. It controls whether User Account Control (UAC) elevation prompts from sandboxed applications appear on the secure desktop while not affecting host system behavior.

Note: This setting is only effective when UseSandboxieUAC is enabled.

Usage:

   .
   .
   .
   [GlobalSettings]
   PromptOnSecureDesktop=n

This setting ensures that UAC prompts from sandboxed applications do not appear on the secure desktop, even if the system is configured otherwise.
