How to Keep Explorer.exe from Virtualizing

$

Hello VMware Team,

 

I hope this forum is still active although the good old Thinapp is not really a single package anymore.

Currently I've ran into a problem with Thinapp:


With all my, so far virtualized, packages, the explorer process is also virtualized.
How does this happen you might ask?
I virtualized Dropbox and Firefox (for example), when I double click the DropBox icon, I get a virtualized explorer.exe and not the one from my actual computer.

Now with DropBox this isn't really a problem, but with Firefox it is.
Whenever I download something with Firefox and I execute the download from within Firefox, the download will open virtualized.

If the download is an installation package for whatever software, the software will get installed into the sandbox (somehow).

 

What am I doing wrong? Is this default behavior?
How do I work around this?

 

Thanks in advance for the information!
