## Transaction Master

Transaction Master is an experimental tool for Windows that allows you to switch other processes into the context of an NTFS transaction. A transaction is a Windows kernel object that encapsulates a set of operations (in this case — file-system operations) into a single entity. This entity provides isolation, which means that changes made within a transaction are not visible to the rest of the system, and atomicity, which means the owner can commit (make permanent) or rollback it as a whole. The last part also allows the system to maintain consistency. For more information see ACID and TxF.

How it works

To understand the program's capabilities and limitations, you can consult with my article:

• In English: How to Make Any Process Work With Transactional NTFS: My First Step to Writing a Sandbox for Windows.
• In Russian: Заставляем любой процесс работать с транзакционной NTFS: мой первый шаг к созданию песочницы для Windows.

Downloads

See releases page

Note: if you have a 64-bit version of Windows, use the x64 version of the program. It supports both native and WoW64 target processes.

The program was tested on Windows 7 and 10. It might also work on Vista.
