Where Are Windows Sandbox Config Files?
Windows Sandbox .wsb files, mapped folders and logon commands.
Last updated
Windows Sandbox reads .wsb XML files from wherever you save them, mapping host folders and running logon commands per launch. No central config registry exists; each .wsb is its own sandbox recipe.
Keep .wsb files in a scripts folder since paths inside must exist on every host. Mapped folders expose real files, so read-only flags matter.
Where Windows stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Sandbox.wsb
Example user-saved config with MappedFolders, LogonCommand and networking flags. Any path works; double-click launches. Validate XML after edits since typos fail silently to defaults.
Frequently asked questions
Where do Sandbox files save?
Nowhere persistent; the sandbox above wipes on close. Copy results to mapped host folders before exiting.
How do I share folders with Sandbox?
Add MappedFolders entries in the .wsb above with read-only flags as needed. Host paths must exist before launch.
