I don't have time to do it today but heres some possible pseudocode for a
tool that would help.

get  revEnvironmentUserPluginsPath() -- the path to the users plugins folder
click a button to move that folder to a new location (thereby removing all
user plugins in one fel swoop)
re-create an empty plugins folder where it belongs.

At this point  in use you would want to restart lc so that its fresh and
any autostart plugins are out of memory

Next, populate a list of plugins that exist in the moved plugin folder

Choose a plugin, get its short name and store it for later use then..
revcopy it back to the users plugin folder
call revideupdateplugins
call revideopenplugin storedstackname

At this point the just added plugin back in the system, and active

Test as needed, then add another back in and test.

Narrowing down would be faster of course using the binary method others
have mentioned (half at a time) but shouldn't be to bad, and should be
relatively easy to implement.
