      Hi

       

      Thank you for using Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.

       

      To re-enable an add-in in an application that uses the Ribbon

      1. click the File tab
      2. Click the Options button.
      3. In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
      4. In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list.

      The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.

      1. In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
      2. Select the add-in and click Enable.
      3. Click Close.

      Hi what does the Outlook Plus add-in do? I have disabled it as it seems to stop my Outlook from opening.

      Outlook Plus is an old add-in developed by 3rd party that you installed; it is not part of Outlook as supplied by Microsoft. The add-in's function was to sync your Outlook data (contacts, calendar, etc...) with Outlook on another machine. If you are still looking for this functionality, you could use this add-in as an alternative;
      http://addins.howto-outlook.com/codetwo_outlooksync

      The free version supports synching of Calendar and Contacts folders only.

      @Max Meng;
      The answer of William Zhou is not the answer here since re-enabling the add-in will only crash Outlook as Bernie_D already mentioned in his question. The question also was what the add-in DOES and not HOW to re-enable it.

      Hello,

      I have a related question.  I was using Outlook Express and just bought Outlook 2010.  It seems I removed all the add-ins except for one the the system said I cannot remove.  I checked one item and then another one was removed. 

      In any case there is nothing in the disabled add-ins and all have disappeared.  I am sure that my start up will be faster, but there was one that seemed to be related to security.

      How do I re-enable the add-ins I removed?

      Also, if you know anything about Outlook Express, I still prefer reading my emails there, but I am getting duplicate emails now.  When I start wanting to use just Outlook 2010, which I have set as my default, how do I uninstall Outlook Express if it comes with my operating system?  I don't find it in Add and Remove Programs.  It's address is:  "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe".  I will probably want to stop receiving emails there and just deal with the archives.  So, I may not need to uninstall it yet.  I could just disable the mail server, then, right?

      Hello again,

      I apologize, I see the link now that instructs re-enabling an add-in.  Can you answer the other question?

      Thank you,

      Hello again,

      That link only helps if there are disabled add-ins.  I get a box that pops up that says there aren't any add-ins disabled.

      When I click on "Add in Options button", I get a messages that states,

      "no add-in property pages to display"

      I still need help with this!

      Hello,

      I just want to mention that I closed the Outlook 2010 application and there are still no disabled add-ins showing.  There are still no add-ins listed that I removed to re-enable.

      I don't have a clue how to find them again.  I couldn't find them under the start-ups in "msconfig" under RUN either.
