Help Please!  I can't clean-up my test addins

Hi all.
I have been fiddling with VS.Net Addins in the 2005 Beta1 edition and
somehow I've managed to fill my Tools menu with TONS of copies of a
particular addin (it's the "hello world" of addins with the smiley
icon and the name "Happy Face!").

I think it got there when I wrote my first addin tester but now I
can't get rid of it.  I've tried running the "devenv /setup" but that
doesn't seems to do the trick.  Somehow, it keeps replicating itself
too.

When I log on to windows as a different user I do not see these in my
tool menu. So, I logically assumed that something would be in my
"Documents and Settings".  I did find a folder under C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio called
8.0 (and 8.0Exp).  If I delete both of these folders, they just get
recreated and the addins are still in my tool menu.

So where are these addins stored?  I don't know the GUID of the class
I created so I don't know what to unregister.  Where is this stuff
stored? How do you wipe this out???

Thanks in advance.
Mark

Ok, I've got some more information but the plot has thickened.  I
found that if you go into Tools | Import/Export Settings and then
select the "Reset IDE Settings" and hilite the General Development
Settings that this will wipe things out (seeming for 8.0 and 8.0Exp).

But, when I close all IDE's and go back into my Addin project and
rerun it, then no Addin shows up!!!  What a mess!!!

Any help is greatly appreciated!
