How do I remove this stupid *&^$ Tasktop program from my ColdFusion Builder 2?

I do not need it, I do not want it, and somehow I accidentally installed it. I can find no uninstall button, it's not in my Vista Programs and Features to uninstall, and I"m tired of waiting for it during application load and getting in the way of my shortcuts and whatnot. I just want it gone but I can find no reference anywhere to take this stupid program out.

RLS,
Are you running the latest version of CF Builder by any chance (2.0.1)?  If not, you might want to download and install it.  It actually uninstalls the previous version of CF Builder (2.0.0) and installs the new version (becuase 2.0.1 uses a newer major build of Eclipse).  This will allow you to start with a "clean slate" when it comes to which add-ons are installed, but it should maintain all of your project settings.
Another idea, although this one could be pretty dangerous.  If you feel comfortable trying this, close CF Builder and:
Make a copy of your \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\ColdFusion Builder 2\features and \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\ColdFusion Builder 2\plugins folders as a backup. 
Make copies of \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info and \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.update\platform.xml as backups.
Browse each of those folders from step 1 and find any folders and files with "Tasktop" in the name.  Delete just those files and folders.
Open \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info in a text editor and remove lines that have references to Tasktop.
Open \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.update\platform.xml in a text editor and remove lines that have references to Tasktop.
Launch CF Builder.
If CF Builder wont' run after that, revert the folders and files to the copies you made in steps 1 and 2 above.
Good luck,
-Carl V.
