I am still receiving and indexing events from my splunk forwarder despite setting "Disabled=1" for everything in inputs.conf.
I have also restarted my splunk indexer instance. Nothing has stopped them.
How often does splunk load settings from the .conf files?

You have to manually restart the splunk forwarder. To do this go to the device the forwarder is installed on and run the splunk.exe from the command prompt with the argument restart.
Example:
C:splunkforwardersplunk.exe restart
