Okay so I tested with Sandboxie and RegFromApp on Windows 7.

So Sandboxie didn't detect and files being added to %APPDATA% but RegFromApp did detect the following keys being added: So from looking at this it would appear not to be stealth, perhaps this can be changed via the settings, but I didn't find any option. Could this be the automatic update?

Those keys have to do with Remote Access Service, so yeah, probably the update feature.

I ran RegFromApp as an admin on Vista, started ResEdit and didn't get those entries.

Did Sanboxie also write those keys in the registry hive it creates at runtime?

It created a blank Reg folder.
I just did the same test on Windows XP SP3 and couldn't find these RegKeys, so maybe its a Windows 7 addition with the Tracing RegKey!

Are you the Developer of this App?

No, it showed up on one of my rss feeds, freewarefiles I think, so I gave it a try (seeing how my beloved reshacker is a bit outdated) and really liked it.
The first try I did was to open mplayerc (Media Player Classic Homecinema) scroll down to Menu>128 double-click, click View, move cursor to Language press delete on keyboard. Simple, I hate references to language files that don't exist.

If I remember correctly (I haven't re-installed yet) Sandboxie creates a hive in the registry, if you open regedit you should see everything associated with the sandbox (read/write of the program).

Did you disable the Auto check updates?

ResEdit might prove useful (amongst other things) for some quick editing portably (SciTE, MinGW) CodeBlocks, PellesC.

The portable releases seems to have gone. You should not run the installer; it includes adware - Wajam ads and recommendations.

Just uniextract the installer; the files you need are in the $INSTDIR folder. Edit ResEdit.xml with a notepad program, change
<autoCheckUpdate value="true" /> to <autoCheckUpdate value="false" to disable the autocheck for updates.

Why are you asking? Did you run the installer?

Then you should see what the installer does and what is left behind after the process is completed. It only contains adware.
