+1 Virtual Machine It's the only real way to ensure it's 100% separate. You can also make cheap clones of the VM (only stores the differences), so that you always have a clean base VM to roll back to. I suppose you could login to a different windows account and that would at least not look at your users customization. But I'm not sure if all other settings would be unique.
