Add-in Information Lister for Microsoft Excel

A free add-in for Microsoft Excel that lists and manages your installed add-ins.

  • List all the add-ins running when Excel starts
  • Easily remove or re-install add-ins
  • Easily remove COM add-ins — most are not needed and sneak in, and they can cause major memory problems in Excel

The Add-in Information Lister for Excel not only provides a way to list your add-ins, but it provides easy access to installed VBA add-ins and COM add-ins. The Add-In Information Lister provides a list of all installed VBA add-ins for Excel, their file location, and their opening order:

If you uninstall an add-in via Tools/Add-ins and unchecking the add-in, Excel will frequently drop the add-in from the list. If you do not know where the add-in file is located, it becomes difficult to add back. This add-in is also useful if you have gotten a new machine or are re-installing Excel, as it creates a list in a new workbook of all your installed and opened add-ins.

Managing COM add-in access is hard to do in Excel. Unfortunately, COM add-ins frequently cause memory problems. Removal of unneeded COM add-ins that sneak into your Excel is essential to keep Excel from crashing.

The Add-in Information Lister is free — no purchase required. Does not expire. No nag screens.
