As some apps are not truely portable, it would be great if we could launch from SyMenu and run the app through sandboxie http://www.sandboxie.com/
So any changes made were not saved to the host computer.
I'm not sure if that fits within the scope of SyMenu and sandboxie itself is not truely portable that I know of, but I know you are working on a TrueCrypt launcher, sandboxie would be another huge benifit.

Hello Coastie.
Since Sandboxie supports command line mode to launch programs (http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?StartCommandLine) it is already possible to create a SyProgram like this:
Path: C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe
Parameters: notepad
To open notepad on Sandboxie.
If you want to open a portable program available on the same unit of SyMenu you can write:
Path: C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe
Parameters: #:\SyMenu\ProgramFiles\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe
using # as placeholder for unit drive. SyMenu will replace it on program execution.
Besides next SyMenu version (1.09) will support mixed parameters for SyProgram.
So you could write something like this:
Path: C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe
Parameters: /box:Test notepad
to open notepad into the sandbox called Test.
I don't think that SyMenu could integrate with sandboxie more strictly, because, as you already said, the program is not portable.
Regarding Truecrypt I think that this debate could be re-opened after the release of SyMenu 1.09 because the new mixed parameters function and the autoexec on close feature, open new possibilities in integration with a lot of programs.
So stay tuned for next release and let's see again after 1.09.
