Remove Shell Extension

How do I remove the DB shell extension? I can't find any such setting to do so.

They had a command line option, that you invoked in a separate one off execution of the app that removed the integration, this was added due to integration problems detected and not yet corrected at the time.

This appears to have been withdrawn since. Which I found was a pretty arrogant thing to do.

The problem with doing it manually is that the auto update feature of the software is so sloppy that it blindly stabs things back in. I use sysinternals Autoruns and uncheck all the DB app attachment points, then it auto updates and adds a second row of them, I currently have 4 of each hook showing up.
