Default ABS Off Switch

On my old 89 200 quattro turbo there was an ABS switch that would turn ABS on and off. I would like to do the same thing with my 96 A4. I've heard that taking the fuse out disables the ABS.
So i was going to wire a new switch to a relay which would cut the power to the ABS. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Is this the right way to do it?

Thanks.

What I would do is to corrupt the data from one of the sensors, that will make the internal logic of the car flag an error, and your ABS will be disabled. The easiest way to do this is to pop up your backseat and unplug an ABS sensor from there. Eitehr your ABS ECU is there, or there are some extenders, one going to each wheel well.
