Set shading off? I don't get along with shaders, too slow normally so I tend to avoid them. I believe shading is for real time shadows, not bump mapping. The only way I can think of is to have 2 copies of each object one bump mapped, one standard and swap them when required. Shader boffs may give you a better solution though.

Not true. Shaders can be used for many many things, not just shadows.

Ew! Wastefull.

To remove the bump-mapping (Or indeed any shader) from an object, just have a blank shader with an empty technique and set the object to use that shader instead.
