Help - removing plug-in

[Ek]

Is there a way to manually remove 3rd party plug-ins from
IE6?

 

[Ramesh [MVP]]

The following to keys are related to IE Toolbar add-ons:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

For BHOs, this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browse
r Helper Objects

Additional Information:
If you want to disable a particular BHO, use BHOCop or BHODaemon utility.
You will know what each subkey represents:

Thanks, bhodaemon works to a certain extent, but it does
pick up plugins such as macromedia flash which has been
installed?

This is from an other post. I did not kept the source.

Try this fix. Just in case you want it back on occasions.

I made two shortcuts in my Links area under Internet Explorer, which
each run a command:

Flash On:

"C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\regsvr32.exe"
"C:\WinNT\System32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx"

Flash Off:

"C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\regsvr32.exe"
"C:\WinNT\System32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx" /u

(these are word wrapped for usenet, you must combine the two lines
back together, separated by a space)

Of course, if you're not running an NT-kernel OS, or if you installed
flash in a different directory you'll have to adjust the paths to
regsvr32.exe and swflash.ocx
