VMWare is a great way to go. You get a quarantined "guest" OS that you can restore by simply replacing a file. You can also take a "snapshot" of the OS and then just revert to that snapshot anytime you like. You can also set up a private LAN that is isolated to your test computer for multiple guest Oses - lets you watch how the applications want to communicate.

Baseline system -> Snapshot -> Do Bad Thing -> Rebaseline -> Revert to snapshot and Compare baselines -> Repeat as needed

Ghost or Altiris can do this for you.
