  1. Go to the Tools menu, select the Manage Add-ons option, and then click the Enable or Disable Add-ons option.
  2. Select an add-on name on the list and then click the Enable or Disable options under the Settings section.
  3. browser add ons
  4. Click the OK button.

Note: By default only the currently loaded add-ons are listed, if you want to see all add-ons, select Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer in the top selection.

Unfortunately you can only select one add-on at the time to enable or disable. If you want to run Internet Explorer 7 without any add-ons, you can use a command line switch. Open a command prompt and change the directory to “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer“.
Then type: iexplore.exe -extoff and press Enter.
Internet Explorer will now start with all add-ons disabled.
