it's not a click right thing
it is in the explorer window on the menu in the up left corner where you have files and all
then you have tools

mar i may be wrong, but im petty sure the manage add-ons option in internet explorer is only available after you have installed service pack 2, which is what your trying to install in the first place isnt i?

the windows validation is a hidden one. when you're in the add ons manager,select all plug ins that have been used by internet explorer. select the windows genuine advantage one and disable it
goes for anyone else who has an illegal version of windows but wants some of these new downloads offered by windows
throw me some karma if it helps
