There’s a new tool around called eaLauncher.
Once registered, EA Project files (*.eap) open with this application. It lets you enable/disable EA-Plugins before the Application starts.

Installation is quite simple:
run the exe from anywhere on your computer and click “register”. next time you start an eap-file, while pressing the <shift> key, the dialog will open up.
otherwise the files will be started normally.

if this app doesn’t match your requirements, start it for one last time, and click “unregister”. now feel free to delete it.

Note 1: please do not move the eaLauncher.exe after you have clicked “register”. Unregister first, move the exe, then click “register” again.
