Run Programs in the Container

• The container is a secure, virtual environment in which you can run unknown, untrusted, and suspicious applications.

• Applications in the container are isolated from the rest of your computer. They are denied access to other processes, write to a virtual file system and registry, and cannot access your personal data.

• The container is useful for testing new programs and for programs you are not sure about.

• You can run applications in the container on an ad-hoc basis, and you can also create desktop shortcuts to always launch a program in the container.

This section explains how you can run programs in the container on a one-off basis. There are a couple of ways to do this:

Run a program inside the container by right-clicking

• Browse to the installation folder of the .exe file through Windows Explorer

• Right-click on the program that you want to run inside the container

• Choose 'Run in Xcitium container' from the context sensitive menu

Run a program in the container from the 'Containment Tasks' interface

• Click the 'Tasks' on the XCS home screen

• Click 'Containment Tasks' > 'Run Virtual'

• Click 'Choose and Run' then browse to the application.

• Select 'Create a virtual desktop shortcut' if you want to run the application in the container in future.

• The contained application will run with a green border around it.
