I have upgraded to IE8 ( from ie7) on my pc running XP-SP3. IE8 runs fine
in the main admin account but in the guest account IE8 runs with all
addons disabled. Under manage addons the enable button is greyed out.

How do I get ie8 to run with all addons in guest account :

note : i have checked the shortcut properties for IE and it is ok.

Why are you using the Guest account at all? It's a known security risk
because it could allow anonymous access to your machine, and should be
disabled.
If you are wanting casual users to use your machine, set up a Limited User
account and call it "Visitor" or something similar instead.

From TechNet:

"The Guest account is intended for users who require temporary access to the
system. However, if this account is enabled, a security risk may exist
because an unauthorized user could gain anonymous access to the system
through this account."

Why should all addons get disabled in Ie8 . Never had this problem in IE7.
Is there a way to enable the addons in guest account ?

Google toolbar or any other third party toolbar not installed. IE7 was
working fine in guest account . In IE8 all addons across the board are
disabled.

Hi,

Do you have the Google toolbar installed? (see RoBear's reply).

IE8 only opens with all Addons disabled is a symptom of the Google toolbar
(v5 final, pushed by automatic update from google).

To fix the issue, go to Add/Remove Programs (XP) or Programs and Features
and uninstall the Google Updater. Then restart your computer.

Regards.

See if you have the Google Updater in your installed programs list and
uninstall it.

No it shouldn't be.
I will re-post my reply:
The Guest account is a known security risk
because it could allow anonymous access to your machine, and should be
disabled.
If you are wanting casual users to use your machine, set up a Limited User
account and call it "Visitor" or something similar instead.

From TechNet:

"The Guest account is intended for users who require temporary access to the
system. However, if this account is enabled, a security risk may exist
because an unauthorized user could gain anonymous access to the system
through this account."

I only have google chrome browser installed. There is no google toolbar or
google updated in the installed programs list in Add/Remove programs or in
the Program Menu.

note ; this problem of ie8 running without addons is only happening in guest
account.

Logon with the Administrator account to be able to view a complete list of
installed programs. Guest will only show programs installed by Guest.

I could be wrong, but your symptoms are exactly as described for the Google
toolbar update. Google pushed their update one week prior to the release of
IE8 RTW, so we gave it a good going over.

Your point re Guest account is noted. However it does not answer my query.
Does the disabling of addons in ie8 happen by design in guest account or is
there any other issue ?

I have checked the program list under Admin account only. I uninstalled
Chrome, deleted the Chrome folder and google updater folder, Rebooted ....
but the issue still persists only in guest account.
