There is an alterative approach if your Mathematica license allows you to run more than a single kernel at a time. Most Mathematica licenses do allow this, certainly version 7 and above since they include parallel computing on multiple kernels. The approach is to add another kernel name under the Kernel configuration options (the menu item "Evaluation>KernelConfiguration Options..."). The details are slightly difficult to describe in a short post, but the main idea is to "Add..." a kernel (give it a name different from "Local". Then, if you want to run a computation in a notebook with that additional kernel the additional kernel under the menu option "Evaluation>Notebook's Kernel...". That notebook will use only that kernel while all other notebooks in your Mathematica session will use the default kernel. I hope this helps....
