Uninstalling PowerTab

Hi,

Does anyone have any information about how to completely uninstall
PowerTab? I have it installed on all of my machines and love it but a
colleague has asked me how to remove it, there's nothing in the
readme.txt that I can see.

/\/\O\/\/ has a post on his site saying something about choosing "mode
1" to remove it but it isn't so clear to me what is meant by that.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks Marco - Thats done the trick.
Appreciated as always,

By default, PowerTab should but its initialization routine in the 
system-wide PowerShell profile.

To check it out:
PSH> notepad $profile

You should see the relevant PowerTab section.  You just need to comment 
out these lines like this:

# Initialize PowerTab

#& 'C:\powershell\powertab\Init-TabExpansion.ps1' `
#     -ConfigurationLocation 'C:\...\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell'

Now that disables PowerTab, but doesn't uninstall it.

So based on the above, c:\powershell\powertab is my PowerTab directory.

To completely remove PowerTab, I would:
1. Remove the entire PowerTab code section from $profile (pretty clearly 
delimited, I think).
2. Remove the directory c:\powershell\powertab (in my case).
