Introduction

Manage Add-ons feature introduced in Windows XP Service Pack 2 is a great feature where-in you can view the list of browser add-ons and disable them selectively via user interface or through Policies. This article will help you to capture the Manage Add-ons listing and transfer to a file for further reading:

SysExporter utility allows you to grab the data stored in standard list-views, tree-views, list boxes, and combo boxes from almost any application running on your system, and export it to text, HTML or XML file.

How to capture the Add-on listings using this tool?

> Close all running applications

> Click Start, Run and type INETCPL.CPL

> Select Programs tab, and click Manage Add-ons... button

> To view additional columns, right-click the column header

> Start SysExporter, select the item named Manage Add-ons (ListView)

> In the lower pane, select all the entries CTRL + A

> Right-click and choose Copy selected items (Tab delimited)

> Open Notepad and press CTRL + V to paste the text from clipboard.

> Save the Notepad document.

To view the Manage Add-ons listing in a readable format, start Microsoft Excel and open the saved text document (which is tab delimited). Follow the prompts, and the document will be neatly aligned with column headers.
