Extensions Manager (as well as all of the other popular extensions 
management utilities I know of) only allows you to turn off SOME of your 
extensions.  To see what I mean, go into Extensions Manager, and turn off 
all of your extensions.  Then reboot and open your extensions folder.  
You'll be surprised to find out just how many extensions still load!  I 
was amazed.

What is so hard about scanning a folder and moving all files out of it is 
beyond me.  These extensions management programs really don't cut the 
mustard in my opinion - which is why I don't use them anymore.  ;-)  I'm 
going to have to sit down and write a decent extensions management 
utility that works like it should one of these days.
