When I click on a link (yes, I trust the link) it takes me there but a
message bar up top the states ...
"Internet Explorer is currently running with add-ons disabled"

This is relatively new. I have to close IE, open it from the task bar, paste
in the link and everything works okay. Tried "manage add-ons" with no
success.

This is a Vista email question. The issue is directly related to Windows
Mail. The "problem" occurs only when clicking on a link within Mail.

Windows Mail merely passes the URL request to IE. What
happens next is up to IE. I suggest you do a reset of IE:
Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Reset.

Wasn't particularly helpful. I encountered the same problem. It appears
that Windows Mail was calling Internet Explorer with the "-extoff" flag or
doing something else of a like or similar nature. There is no way to fix the
problem by dinking with Internet Explorer unless you know of a way to tell it
to ignore the extoff flag.

IE worked fine from any desktop icon except the one that is labelled to
start Internet Explorer with no add-ons. As an experiiment, i searched the
system for "extoff" and removed it wherever found, including in registry
entries, and that also did not solve the problem.

Finally, I compared my new system to another one that does not have the
problem, looking for differences, and the first one I noticed was that the
system with the problem also had "Norton 360" installed but not enabled.
Uninstalling that resolved the problem.

I realize that I'm coming late to this discussion, but hope that someone
else finding it the same way I did, by googling the error message with
"windows mail' appended, may find it useful.

Thanks for your report. It is amazing all the problems that Norton
security software can cause, just by being installed.
