#131 Unable to enable StExBar in Windows Explorer

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: ben.axel...@gmail.com

I installed StExBar, but when I right click the menu area in Windows Explorer, StExBar is grayed out and I cannot check it.  I have tried all combinations of locking and enabling the toolbars with no success.  I have tried uninstalling and re-installing StExBar with no luck.

I know StExBar is working in some capacity because I can right click on the desktop and I get a StExBar menu in the pop-up menu. 

StExBar 1.8.0.252
Windows XP SP 3
This is a fairly new and clean install of Windows XP.

I have successfully installed and used StExBar on another Windows XP and a Windows 7 machine in the past.  So I don't know what could be the problem on this system.  What could cause this toolbar to be grayed out in windows explorer?

Open the internet explorer (yes, IE, not the normal explorer).
In the menu Tools, go to "internet options". Go to the "Programs" tab.
Click the "manage add-ons" button.
In the "Show" combobox, switch to "All add-ons".
Now you should see "StExBar" listed on the right. Make sure it is enabled.

Hello

I'm having the exact same problem related above.
My difference is StExBar is not listed in IE
add-ons management, even when I select show all.
This is happening even after uninstall and reinstall
StExBar, restarting my computer after each one.

I'm running win 7 home premium 64 bit
and installed StExBar64-1.8.3.msi

Can you please help me?

I like very much your bar and I will appreciate
very much if I can continue using it.

Really ot of thanks in advance

I solved this issue (StExBar x64 1.8.2 on Windows 7 SP1 x64) by ensuring that the  StExbar add-on is enabled in the *64bit* version of Internet Explorer 9. Once that was done, the greyed-out text of the StExbar item in the toolbars menu of the *32bit* Windows Explorer was now active, and the toolbar could be displayed. (The StExbar x64 toolbar does not display in the add-ons list of the *32bit* Internet Explorer, even when the toolbar is active in the *32bit* windows Explorer--and this is exactly right!)

Hi , I am use StExBar in 64-1.8.3,Suddenly one day,i can't find my Stexbar in my Explorer.
I don't know why?
I tried to romove & re-installation,
The result is the same can not be used, and is gray

Then I find a way to slove Stexbar is grayed in Explorer.
But it's not a smart way...。
So please just reference to look at.

Remove StExBar, install 32* & 64* StExBarthe latest version.
