Configure specific folder to be "pretend empty"

Hi,

 

I'm looking to have sandboxie to treat a specific folder (and their subfolders) as if they were empty, regardless of the factual physical status.

Specifically:

Assuming path "c:\users\$USER\appdata\local\google" - even though this path does exist physically, have sandboxie

1. pretend it is empty, in disregard of actual physical on-disk status of this path

2. allow read/write within the current sandbox (that is, programs may create directories, write files, etc, AND retaining them, unless those files are deleted, or sandbox is cleared)

 

Right now, I have a rule set up that allows writing to this directory, but not reading - while this works just fine for, say, my standard browser (Chrome), it does not let me install a different version of Chrome, without having to switch users.

The last part is precisely why I'm trying to solve this with sandboxie - user switching is rather annoying.

 

Is this possible with sandboxie? If so, how?
