Anyone
familiar with add ons manager.
My
IE on my laptop starts with ad ons disable and the add ons manager is not
accessible (grayed out), so I can not activate things like Active-X controls
etc...
Microsoft
help states that IE should start with add ons enable by default. I can not find
anything about why the add ons manager is grayed out.
