Hi Guys,

I'm using IE 7. I goto Tools > Manage Addins and find that there is all debris. Is any way I can get all this stuff removed rather than just disabled?

Cheers
Jeremy

You could try Winpatrol (http://www.winpatrol.com/) under IE Helpers tab - remove.

For instance, if you have the Adobe's ActiveX\BHO installed, you can go into Adobe\Edit\Preferences and uncheck Display PDF in browser. It will then remove the below ActiveX and BHO items.

That being said, removing all those items accomplishes what ?

Just being anal. Don't want random dll, bho and activex files just lying around.
