Abstract
Techniques for handling a file associated with a program are described herein. According to an aspect of the invention, in response to a request for accessing a file received through a first program, the file is stored in a first sandboxed storage area, where the file is to be accessed by a second program. An atomic move operation is then performed on the file that atomically moves the file from the first sandboxed storage area to a second sandboxed storage area, where the first sandboxed storage area is not accessible to the first program and second program. The second program is launched to access the file stored in the second sandboxed storage area, where the second sandboxed storage area is a part of a sandbox associated with the second program.
