The screen shot that you included is the selection of "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt". This prompt has the details "This option is considered safe as it only adds some minimal Git wrappers to your PATH to avoid cluttering your environment with optional Unix tools. You will be able to use Git from both Git Bash and the Windows Command Prompt." This suggests to me that you will be able to undo this by modifying your Windows PATH environment variable. (On my Windows 7, this is found in the Environment Variables button under the Advanced tab of System Properties.) Your PATH should be some entries there that point to your Git installation. You can safely remove these (with administrator privileges) by manually removing them from the PATH. I hope this helps!
