Thanks for the tip on disabling Xobni, and if you’ve had problems with Xobni getting disabled then I can understand why you had it re-enable itself. I hope you find a workaround, but in the meantime the registry hack works well for the few people managing their Outlook add-ins.

I understand your frustration. Unfortunately there were some cases in which Outlook disables Xobni in the background without the user explicitly turning Xobni off. We have code that tries to identify those cases to re-enable Xobni, but that code doesn’t know if the user explicitly turned Xobni off or if Outlook had a hiccup and turned Xobni off.

That’s why we are where we are. It’s not our intent to ignore the users’ wishes; we have a strong culture of always thinking about what’s best for the user.

If you’d like to disable Xobni, please try the following: open regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\XobniMainConnectorShim.Connect, then create a String Value called ‘XobniDisable’ and modify the LoadBehavior to be ‘0′ instead of ‘3′. To re-enable Xobni thereafter, just change LoadBehavior back to ‘3′.

If these instructions are unclear, please shoot me an email and I’ll walk you through in more detail!

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,
Adam Smith
