This mode makes all unsandboxed locations unreadable (except "C:\Windows" and "C:\Program Files"), hence denying programs access to any personal data. Also, the registry only allows reading parts of the local machine's root keys (HKLM) but not user root keys (HKCU). Exceptions can be specified in Resource Access.
