I just found this link, and wanted to preserve it. Very nice for disabling IPv6 tunnels on Windows machines. I am running dual-stack, and the tunnels felt like they were in the way.

Windows Disable IPv6 RA solicitations
This works for both Windows 7 and Server 2008, I use this if I have set a static IPv6 address and want to stop the Windows box from having more than one IPv6 address.
First we want to find the index value of your nic.
c:\netsh int ipv6 sh int Idx Met MTU State Name --- ---------- ---------- ------------ --------------------------- 1 50 4294967295 connected Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 11 10 1500 connected Local Area Connection
Now apply the value to disable the RA solicitation
c:\netsh int ipv6 set int 11 routerdiscovery=disabled
Now after a reboot you should only have one IPv6 IP address.
