    just a heads up, but you wont be able to re-enable the script via the same method, since GameObject.Find can not find disabled objects.

    That doesn't entirely apply here since disabling the component won't turn the GameObject off. That being said - the default override for GetComponent does not return inactive components so you'd have to call GetComponent<playerMouseLook>(true).
