<p>I'm a huge fan of bzr and I'm glad they're working on tortoise for it, but currently it's WAY too slow to be useful.  The icons are almost always incorrect and when I load a directory in explorer with a lot of branches it locks up my entire system for anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes.  I look forward to trying it again in the future, but for now I'd like to disable it.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I don't see it in add/remove programs and I can't find a way to disable it in the bazaar config directory.  When I right click the icon in the task panel (by the clock) and choose "Exit Program" it just restarts moments later.  I don't see it in the Services panel either.  Is there any way to disable it?</p>

<p>I'm running Windows XP on the system in question.</p>

According to the
TortoiseBZR readme
, you can disable it by running
```
```
python tortoise-bzr.py --unregister
```
```
from the install folder.  Not sure where it's installed by default, but it looks like that might be in your Python site-packages folder.
