re-enabling a COM add-in that has been soft disabled

[q3537wh]

How does one re-enable a COM add-in that has been soft disabled? If it
is registered under HKCU, then I know you can go into the COM Add-Ins
dialog and just check the box to enable it. What if the add-in is
registered under HKLM? In that case the add-in is not listed in the
COM Add-Ins dialog. Is there a way, short of going into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins or using a
third-party add-in manager, to edit LoadBehavior within Outlook?
Thanks.

The only way to directly edit LoadBehavior is by writing to the registry.

If the COM addin is a member of the COMAddIns collection then you an iterate
that collection and set the Connect bit to connect the addin.
