How to Disable the Archive "Loop Posts" Feature?

I installed a plugin called "Archive Control" so I could add content to my category pages (it allows you to add content before, and/or after the usual "loop" of posts.)

I would like to disable the "loop" posts feature entirely, as I will create my own "table of contents" for each category, using the aforementioned plugin.

Any tips?

I guess I could edit the archive.php file, perhaps, to remove the looping posts thingy.

I'd rather avoid editing a core file, though.

Cheers,

Jordan
