I have checked all around the registry and I could not find any lists of all installed extensions.
At this point, any general location of IE extensions/add-ons would help.
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“.
To manage add-ons Open IE, click Tools, and then click Manage Add-ons. Double-click the add-on you want to change. In the More Information dialog, click Copy and then click Close.
Start> Run (or Windows logo key + r) type in iexplore.exe -extoff then hit enter.
Web browser plugins and add-ons are programs integrated into your web browser and extending its capabilities. For example, you can use them to view media content on a web page, receive news and mail, download files, block undesired pop-up windows, and so on.
