Hi guys
W7 32 Bit build 7022 with IE8 RC1.
If you get that annoying message whne you start IE8 "Internet Explorer is running with addons disabled" here's how to get rid of it.

Close all IE sessions except ONE.
Click on Tools====>Internet Options===>Advanced

Now click on the RESET button towards the bottom of th popup and follw the instructions.

Annoying Prompt has gone.


(This fix also works in IE8 RC1 on XP, and VISTA) Note 32 bit versions. I haven't tested IE8 RC1 with a 64 Bit OS yet.
IE8 on W7 X-64 is still at BETA level where the problem doesn't occur (other problems however).

Cheers
jimbo

Jimbo mentioned that this fix also works for IE8 RC1 on XP and Vista, specifically for 32-bit versions. It's important to note that Jimbo hasn't tested IE8 RC1 with a 64-bit OS yet. Additionally, he highlighted that IE8 on Windows 7 X-64 is still at the beta level where this particular issue doesn't occur, although there might be other problems present.
Thanks for sharing this useful tip, Jimbo! It can be quite handy for users facing this issue with IE8 on Windows 7 32-bit systems.
