Wade,
I've not verified all the CLSID, but one of which may be related to
Adobe.
In the Manage Add-on window, right-click the column border and select
"Class
ID" column. Then view the corresponding CLSID for the blocked Adobe
control.
Example:

Once you note down the CLSID, delete the corresponding value entry from
this
key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]
(if exists)

:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID
with a lot of type REG_SZ data=0
this only affects the current user account, which is the machine
administrator; all others of limited access have no trouble and can
enable/disable at will

Wade,
Post the contents of this key. Right-click and choose Export.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\EXT
Is the problem seen in other user profiles also?

actually, I do have
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\EXT
but no CLSID
and in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\
no EXT
:
using regedit (i don't have Pro and don't have group policy editor
I'm looking for the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\EXT
but have no "EXT" folder ???
(XP home under administrator account)
BTW, this is a huge problem that a lot of people seem to be trying
to
solve
to fix Acrobat ActiveX problems
