Disabled Items

[Michael Tissington]

When Outlook starts up, it sometimes offers the option to disable an add-in
which it thinks caused problems.

I know hoe to re enable the add-in by going to the Outlook/Help menu.

But where in the registry does Outlook store this information?

Basically I'd like to provide a UI for our addin to say if it has been
disabled.

Thanks.

I wonder if Outlook just changes the LoadBehavior value from 3 to 2 and the Help menu just queries the registry for unloaded addins.

But if the addin is not a traditional com add-in (loaded as an exchange
client or ecf)
then it will not have the same registry entries ...

AFAIK it is stored in extend.dat cache.
