So then does anybody know how we can hide the addins from the Trust
Center. I have an addin which is absolutely mandatery to be running at
all times. In Office 2003 - we hid it from there (so users dont
disable it) by HKLM.

How do we do this in Office 2007 (not allowing users to disable it)

Thanks

Try to set the access rights on the your addin's registry key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlo ok\Addins
so that only admins can delete/modify entires there.
Also note that unless the current user is an admin/power user, it will not
be possible to modify *any* registry key in HKLM, so your add-in will stay
enabled.

Thanks for the response.

I am a local admin on my machine and hence always had acces to enable/
disable them. Never realized that non-admins will not have access to
it. Will try it on a regualr workstation where I dont have access
rights.

Also - just out of curiosity - how do we set the access rights in the
path you mentioned in the addins registry key. I dont see any specific
key which would deal with this.

Thanks

You will need to set the permissions on the parttcilra registry handle:
