Turn off "The add-on is ready for use" message in Internet Explorer web browser. Once you disable this message, IE will automatically activate newly installed add-ons and will never show you any notification message.

If you install a new add-on or a new software in Windows and if the software automatically adds a toolbar or Explorer bar in Internet Explorer web browser, you get a popup notification message in Internet Explorer that "The 'xx' add-on from 'xx' is ready for use". You get two buttons "Enable" and "Don't enable". If you click on "Enable" button, the add-on is activated immediately. If you click on "Don't enable" button, the add-on is disabled by Internet Explorer.

If more than one add-ons were installed by the software, Internet Explorer shows "Several add-ons are ready for use" popup notification message. If you click on "Enable" button, Internet Explorer shows a new window showing a list of all newly installed add-ons. Here you can enable or disable desired add-ons.

Recommendation: Take Registry Backup prior making below changes (Registry Editor -> File -> Export)

>> Open Registry Editor

>> Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
>> Create a new key under Policies key and set its name to Ext
>> Now right click on the new Ext key and, create a new DWORD  value name IgnoreFrameApprovalCheck  and set its value to 1

>> If have 64-bit edition of Windows, you'll also need to create above key and DWORD value in below location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
