Containment Settings
- Click 'Settings' > 'Containment' to open this interface.
- If CCS encounters a file that has a trust status of 'Unknown' then you have the option to automatically run that file in the container.
- The container is a secure, virtual environment where unknown files can run, but cannot affect the rest of your computer.
- Files in the container are isolated from other processes, write to a virtual file system and registry, and cannot access your user data.
- 'Shared Space' - Because applications in the container cannot save files to your local file system, CCS creates a special folder at 'C:/ProgramData/Shared Space' for you to save files created or downloaded in the container. You can access files in this folder from your local desktop.
- If required, you can also allow contained applications save files to external storage devices. For example, to USB sticks and external storage drives.
-
