Hi mioan, it's a COM Add-in which I think means that it shows up in the command bar as a button. You need to click on the "Go..." button at the bottom next to Manage: COM Add-ins. These days I leave it unchecked but don't remove, as otherwise it'll sneakily come back and be checked again.

@ctrl alt del only way (until the guys at Evernote may eventually listen, which may be never) is to dump the desktop software altogether. I've done this and just have it in a browser tab, and have never looked back.

I have to disagree Chris, it is not easy to turn off these features, if it requires removing dlls, and it cannot be done at installation.

I'm glad you find the Outlook plugin useful, I'm sure many do. Evernote clearly agree that this is such a great feature that it should be force-fed to all Evernote users, alongside the clipper, browser plugins and what have you. All I'm saying is that some of us may want to use Evernote purely as a note-taking facility, and need to keep background services to a minimum to keep our old laptops runnning reasonably smoothly. Thoughtful software developers tend to give you a choice on what extra features to install alongside the core application.

dddbug, thanks for your posts. I strongly suspect it's Evernote being ever so persistent, not an Outlook bug. If you untick and remove the OneNote plugin, it's gone for good, if you do the same with the Evernote plugin, it comes back when re-starting Outlook. Your trick with removing the dll (EvernoteOL.dll) works, but the user clearly shouldn't have to resort to such measures. Evernote is a fantastic note-taking tool, but a little consideration for all of us who aren't able to fork out for new powerful laptops and have to manage application sprawl would be very decent.

Also trying to be nice, and will desist from usage of asterisked out expletives, but the suggested solution doesn't work, next time you start Outlook the bloody (not an expletive) add-on is back to ticked! I concur with RioREN, computers would be better devices if software could just stick to its primary purpose and not slide its tentacles into everything it can get hold of!! Especially without giving the user a choice (e.g., uninstall module can only remove Evernote completely, not modify)
