Sandboxie for software evaluation

When testing out some software at work just recently, I decided to try out Sandboxie, a program that allows changes to your system to be "sandboxed" and kept separate from the rest of the system. The advantages I was after were one-step total annihilation of the installed software after I was finished evaluating it, to leave my computer pristine (or at least untarnished by these evaluation versions). It worked like a charm. I kind of wish I'd done this before with some other software at home.

PS - Once installed, you just right-click on an installer and select "run sandboxed".
PPS - Then when you're done, delete the sandbox contents.
