Is there any documentation that covers the possible dword values for toolbars, extensions - add-ons in general?
When tracking IE registry changes while disabling add-ons we noticed it updates, at least, two values
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{GUID}\Flags - 00000001
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{GUID}\Flags - 00000004
We know that '00000001' equates to 'disabled'
- What does '00000004' equate to?
- What are the other possible values?
- Are the flag dword values for Settings different from Stats? (e.g.: is 00000001 still disabled or is that not valid for Stats? etc.)
What brought this up? Historically we disabled Java add-ons via registry based on observed registry modifications when the add-on was disabled in IE. We are aware of Oracle's new Java control panel applet that allows you to disable Java with a simple click. It also seems to make a registry change (not sure if its case sensitive but string value & value data are all lowercase):
- HKCU\Software\AppDataLow\Software\JavaSoft\DeploymentProperties\deployment.webjava.enabled = false
