I've always preferred keeping all that stuff in a VM (usually linux).

I have a Windows VM that's snapshotted with all of my favorite tools. When I need to test something, I do so and then roll back. No mess, no cross-pollination of tests.

Yeah, I do the same thing with snapshots (and in some cases you're supposed to do work only on client/government-provided equipment, so moving a VM over is helpful).
