One way would be to put this in your .vimrc:
exec 'set rtp-='.$VIMRUNTIME
That will remove $VIMRUNTIME from your 'runtimepath' so that vim
won't look there for plugins. It won't look there for filetype,
syntax or indent plugins, either, which may be either a problem or a
feature.
Note that the above command will probably fail (untested) if there
are spaces in $VIMRUNTIME, but I thought that was a safe assumption
on a Unix system.
