Easy to use (and I probably ought to use it more often). Under Real Time
Shields there is a Process Virtualization tab. On the tab's page, click
on "Run a virtualized process" and launch [whatever]. It works on the
usual Windows shortcuts, so if your browser, for example, has a shortcut
on the desktop then you don't need to go digging down into Program
Files.

I don't know how *well* it works as a sandbox. Doesn't seem to adversely
affect browser performance.
