In Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5 you no longer have to edit the virtual apps OSD to get a command prompt, just run the following command in START -> RUN:

Sfttray.exe  /exe cmd.exe "APPNAME"

This is great for running various utilities within the Virtual Apps user context like:

Regedit  - See the registry as the application sees it
Explorer  - Open and view the contents of the Q drive (see note below)

Note: To view the contents of the virtual drive using Explorer.exe, you will need to check the "Launch folder windows in a separate process" option in Explorer ->Tools ->Folder Options -> View then close and reopen Explorer.

One Caveat: This will not work with Process Monitor.  You will still need to edit the OSDs and use the prelaunch command string if you're wanting to use Process Monitor for troubleshooting.
