Hav'nt installed ie7, went to Firefox2, Add- on's there have to be installed 1st, before they can be enabled or disabled. enable ie7 add on's http://www.google.com.au/search?q=e... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie... Add-on Management and Crash Detection Internet Explorer's Add-on Management feature lets you view, enable and disable the list of add-ons which can be loaded by Internet Explorer. Add-ons include browser helper objects, ActiveX controls, toolbar extensions and browser extensions. To view or modify the add-ons on your computer by launching Manage Add-ons: 1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, click Manage Add-ons, and then click Enable or Disable Add-ons. 2. To disable an add-on, select it in the list in the Manage Add-ons dialog box and select the Disable radio button. 3. To enable an add-on, select it in the list in the Manage Add-ons dialog box and select the Enable radio button. 4. Click OK to confirm. Note: Disabling an add-on does not remove it from your computer. It simply prevents Internet Explorer from executing the add-on's code—it does not prevent other software from executing the add-on. If an add-on is disabled, website pages that rely on that add-on may not work as expected. For more information on Add-ons, click the "Learn more about add-ons" help link in the Manage Add-ons dialog box. When Internet Explorer experiences an error, Internet Explorer's Add-on Crash Detection feature analyzes whether an add-on was running at the time of the crash. If so, you will be presented with a dialog box that tells you which add-on was running. If you click Advanced, the Manage Add-ons dialog will launch. If you click Continue, you will see the standard Windows Error Reporting dialog. Add-on Crash Detection is on by default. If you are an administrator and wish to disable Add-on Management or Add-on Crash Detection, technical details are available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Lin...

I don't have the option to select Manage Add-ons on the tools list it is grey

i had the same problem and fixed it. Delete IE icon from desktop & start menu. go to my computer >> open Local Disc (C:) >> open Program Files >> open Internet Explorer >> Click on IE icon and drag it to desktop. This new Icon should work perfectly. The icon on your desktop was the old one.

Which may mean, neither of you have Quick Launch ( single click ) open, because IE7 installs a new shortcut there.
