Re: Can I stop apps from opening other apps?

Another option might be to install Sandboxie and then run IrfanView in a sandbox with no other programs allowed to start and run.

It's not just irfanview. I was just using that as an example. The problem is that you never really know what program is going to do this. It could be a virus or malware that does it. Without knowing what program is going to do it it's hard to protect against it.

I think the idea of trying to get at it from the browser side might be a better one.

Or if you have the paid version of Sandboxie you can 'force' the browser (or other programs and folders) to run sandboxed. The browser would start but it would be sandboxed so all you would need to do is close the sandbox, delete the contents and go about your day.
