Disconnecting Add-ins from the Development Environment

If you no longer want to use an add-in, you can disconnect it from the Visual C++ Developer Studio environment.

To disconnect an add-in from the environment

1. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
   
   
2. Click the Add-ins and Macro Files tab.

   The names of the add-ins appear in the window.

3. Clear the check boxes next to the add-ins you want to disconnect.

   When you start Visual C++ again, these add-ins will no longer be available.

   Warning   If you remove the check mark from an add-in, you will unload it. When you unload it, the add-in loses all of its toolbar and keystroke assignments. Additionally, if you remove the check mark, Visual C++ will not automatically load the add-in when you start Visual C++ again.
