    Hi senthill,

    Based on your description, my understanding was you want to change (disable/enable) a Word add-in by modifying registry key.

    First you tried to modify this registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\WordAddIn1

    It only worked for one computer, but you want to work for all users in your environment.

    So you changed the registry key to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\WordAddIn1

    But it only shown in inactive application, you want to show both inactive and active application.

    You also tried another method without luck.

    >>i display the Add-In button for all user on a system<<

    1. Did users connect to the same system? Or this add-in works on their own system?
    2. Did you mean users have the add-button but cannot use it?

    If it works on their own system and for one computer the registry key works fine, I suggest you deploy the correct registry key to all users.

    Your description is a little confusion I'm not sure if my understanding is correct, I suggest you provide more clearly about your issue.

    I'm glad to help and follow up your reply.
