AI agent workspace isolation: 5 mistakes to avoid when running AI on Windows.
Mistake 1: Running the agent on your main drive
The AI agent can accidentally delete or modify important system files.
Mistake 2: Using Docker for simple isolation
Docker is overkill for just isolating a workspace.
Mistake 3: Not using a dedicated folder
Mixing AI agent files with your personal files is asking for trouble.
Mistake 4: No backup
Always backup before letting an AI agent modify your files.
Mistake 5: Not using a drive letter
Using a drive letter makes it clear what the agent can and cannot access.
The solution
Use subst.scsoi.com to map a dedicated folder to a drive letter. The AI agent only sees that drive. Simple, affordable, effective.
