EOS - how to disable it

This is one for the DSLR (EOS) folks. And particularly for those running BackyardEOS or similar.

How can I stop EOS from butting in? BackyardEOS doesn't connect to the camera when EOS Utility is running. Fair enough. If you right-click on the icon in the bottom bar, there is a checkbox you can activate which says "Do not load EOS automatically when camera is connected" - terrific - only it doesn't work. It just keeps on coming back and I can't kill it. I tried uninstalling it but of course I lost my camera drivers along with it so that's not an option. Anyone got any idea about this? Last night and tonight (the only clear nights for months) I've had to prematurely terminate my imaging sessions because BEOS lost contact with the camera and wouldn't re-find it either and both times, I found that EOS Utility had crept back and I had to go back and re-quit it.

This is going to drive me batty.
