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.

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.

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.
