 * ok….i tried installing plug installer from the plug in directory which is supposed
   to make it easier to install plugins…..i get a fatal error message and cannot
   see my plug in menu…..i thought if a fatal error occured with a plug in it would
   be automatically deactivated…. how do i uninstall or deactivate a plugin if i
   cannot access the plug in directory
