How do I *completely* uninstall vcs?

My vcs plug-in got totally hosed up by my trying to get Igloo or PushOK to work, so I tried to uninstall it. (It got so bad that I got an error messsage on the CVSROOT when starting up PLSD, and after I cancelled that, PLSD worked OK, but wouldn't close. Had to kill it with Task Mgr.)
There was nothing in add/remove programs, so I went to C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\PlugIns and deleted the vcs dlls. PLSD worked fine after that.

Then I tried reinstalling vcs (thinking I'd use Visual Source Safe as a stopgap until I figure out cvs). It gave me the same CVSROOT error mesg with the old PushOK data. So apparently there's a file or registry entry somewhere that still needs to be deleted. Anybody know where the rest of the entries are?
(I have now deleted Igloo, PushOK, Tortoise and vcs. I re-downloaded vcs and tried to install again - got error: could not activate plug-in Version Control Interface 1.2)
Thx.
 
My guess is that the VCS Plug-In automatically opens (or at least tries to open) the last used project. To prevent this, start regedit, and delete the following value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Allround Automations\PL/SQL Developer\PlugIns\VCS\Init

Now the VCS Plug-In will not implicitly initialize anything when PL/SQL Developer starts.
