In the Group Policy editor, go to: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer. Double-click Automatically activate/enable newly installed add-ons and select Enabled.
Start> Run (or Windows logo key + r) type in iexplore.exe -extoff then hit enter.
Internet Explorer Browser plug-ins are displayed under the Toolbars and Extensions category, along with any browser toolbars and other type of ActiveX add-ons you have installed. Note that many are hidden by default — click the Show box at the bottom-left corner of the screen and select All add-ons to view them all.
Option 3 – Registry Hold the Windows Key and press “R” to bring up the “Run” dialog box. Type “regedit“, then press “Enter“. Select “Yes” if prompted to allow access by User Account Control. Set the value for “Enable Browser Extensions“.
Some references,
A New IE Add-on Site -- reference.
The site has two objectives: to make it easier for users to find valuable add-ons and to promote our partners who develop add-ons.
You can have your add-on included by submitting it through the Internet Explorer Add-on site and you no longer have to be a member of the Microsoft Partner program to be included.

You can use Microsoft's SpicIE which wraps all the com features of IE, so you can simply develop your own extensions (toolbars, context menu items, etc) using managed code (such as c#, vb.net)

You can just develop a Google Chrome extension (easy peasy Japanesey and great documentation) and use the Google Chrome "IE Tab" extension to test IE functionality.

This is a good reference from Eric Law (Microsoft) in the different ways to develop Internet Explorer add-ons. Be sure to install the IEToys linked in the post to see some DHTML examples with source code.
