Help! Can't fix "IE is running with add-ons disabled"

My IE7 (on XPSP2) has a pop-up that says "IE is running with add-ons
disabled" and lots of stuff doesn't work. All the hits I get for that
message tells me to go to Tools -> Manage add-ons.

When I do that, it's greyed out. How do I fix this?

TIA.

Tools> Manage Add-ons is greyed out when add-ons are disabled via the
troubleshooting shortcut that starts IE7 without add-ons.

Open IE7, click Tools menu> Internet Options> Programs tab> Manage Add-ons button,
and manage them from there. You select each add-on in turn and click the Enable
radio button at bottom to enable each.

If enabling them all causes a problem, then you have to disable them and only enable
a small group at a time, till you find which ones are causing a problem.

sRight click on the shortcut used, if the Target path is "C:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff, you are using using shortcut
in the system tools that launch IE with add-ons disabled (Start>All
Program>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

Then go to Program Files/Internet Explorer folder, right click and drag
"iexplore.exe" to the Desktop and create a shortcut. Use that shortcut
instead.

No - this will not help - MS screwed up like always - start IE via Run
- all those morons that tell you otherwise don't know what they are
talking about, or switch to Linux
