Exclamation Program testing surprise

On my laptop, I use a second, minimal and disposable XP installation on a separate logical drive, E. On this drive, I have been testing some audio apps, including AV Voice Changer Software Diamond Edition.

I now find that files & folders related to this app have appeared on drive C! Process Explorer shows no activity from the program on C and chaos has not broken out. But how could a program which was installed to E access C? And why would it need to?

It seems that the only secure place for a sandbox installation is on a separate machine.
