Create a fake username and account for this purpose, and hope they don't kee...

I haven't quite decided if I'm going to use a linux or windows-based server yet, so I'm looking for solutions for either OS. I found this Sandboxie which lets you run your windows programs in a sandbox, but I don't know if I can programmatically create a sandbox and run a program in there, and then destroy it. Do these sites create one...
