I have a BHO, which i can see it as enabled in Add On's list. But it does not get loaded when i start my IE on the Win2k8 R2 machines(64 bit).

I have disabled IE Enhanced security as well but no help. The same BHO gets loaded in other machines.

The registry details under (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects & HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID) seem to be fine.

Is there any setting that disables BHO from actually getting loaded?

By default the BHO's are disabled on windows servers.

To enable BHO one has to change this setting "Enable Browser Extensions" string value to "yes" in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

I've found I need to register HKCR\CLSID\{GUID} and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{GUID}. I'm not sure if this is the "right" thing to do, but using RegMon, it's what IE is reading...

  • This doesn't help either. When monitored with procmon, a query for HKCR\Wow6432node\CLSID is made - but there was no attempt to load the dll. – atVelu Mar 22 '10 at 17:13
