Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 Thatch 6/15/2007 8:42:00 PM Does anyone know how to remove/disable an Addin in Outlook 2007? In 2003, that was easy through the advanced featers menu, however, in Outlook 2007, I can't find any place in the interface to just disable an Addin. Any clues on how to do this? Thanx in advance.

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 Thatch 6/16/2007 1:00:00 AM I did try that. However, not all addins are listed. For example, Outlook Spy is not listed and I have it installed. Is there a registry of file that I can go and edit and remove the loading of addins?

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 6/16/2007 7:16:39 AM Did you select the appropriate entry in the "Manage" combo box and click Go? Also note that COM add-ins installed in HKLM (as opposed to HKCU) will not be listed.

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 Thatch 6/19/2007 12:19:00 AM Dmitry, That works ok for listed applications. However, I have an Addin Installed that has a memory leak when I delete contacts from folders. After about 40 Deletes, Outlook Hangs. This application is not listed in the Trust center in Outlook. Most likely is was installed in HKLM . How can I prevent Outlook from loading this addin?

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 PS <pratikrshah[ at ]gmail.com> 6/19/2007 6:55:34 PM Dmitriy For Office 2007 - I believe that all addins do show up in the Trust Center (Tools | Trust Center | Add-ins). The reason I say so is because - I have a custom addin developed using C#, VSTO , VS 2005 and in our current environement (Office 2003) it is registered under HKLM so that users cannot disabe it. I recently ported the addin over to Office 2007 (making few modifications for compatibility and it registers under HKLM - but still shows up in trust center. Please correct me if I am wrong - Office 2007 addins always show up in Trust Center irrespective if they are registered in HKCU or HKLM Thanks

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 Thatch 6/19/2007 9:18:29 PM I did try it again. The Addins in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins come up if you select Tools->Trust Center->Addins and then select Exchange Client Extensions on the Manage section and then press Go. It appears to me that any extension that resides in the machine registry is called Exchange Client Extension while extensiosn on the HKEY_CURRENT_USER are called COM Add-ins. One can then enable/disable the Addins from that interface. I'm just getting used with Outlook 2007 and some stuff is not exactly clear. Thanx for all the tips....

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 6/19/2007 9:23:52 PM Yes, you are right: Outlook 2007 does show the HKLM add-ins...

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 6/19/2007 10:19:58 PM No, Exchange Client Extensions are totally different from COM add-ins - they use a different API and can only be installed in HKLM.

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 PS <pratikrshah[ at ]gmail.com> 6/20/2007 5:31:48 PM So then does anybody know how we can hide the addins from the Trust Center. I have an addin which is absolutely mandatery to be running at all times. In Office 2003 - we hid it from there (so users dont disable it) by HKLM. How do we do this in Office 2007 (not allowing users to disable it) Thanks

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 6/20/2007 8:37:51 PM Try to set the access rights on the your addin's registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins so that only admins can delete/modify entires there. Also note that unless the current user is an admin/power user, it will not be possible to modify *any* registry key in HKLM, so your add-in will stay enabled.

Re: Removing Addins in Outlook 2007 PS <pratikrshah[ at ]gmail.com> 6/21/2007 8:35:42 PM Dmitry Thanks for the response. I am a local admin on my machine and hence always had acces to enable/ disable them. Never realized that non-admins will not have access to it. Will try it on a regualr workstation where I dont have access rights. Also - just out of curiosity - how do we set the access rights in the path you mentioned in the addins registry key. I dont see any specific key which would deal with this. Thanks
