SO sorry to the Northern Migration folks on VATSIM today. :( I will be arriving VERY late, because I had this issue, that is NOW solved....and I wanted to HELP and post this before it drives anyone else nuts! :) So last night I had a PERFECT flight, probably most perfect I have had in 10 years of flying. So today I planned out a new one, but I needed the ERJ installed for it. Installed that, and also upgraded UTX and FTX to get everything up to date. Something in that, and I am not sure because I upgraded a lot, decided to hose my "Add-Ons" menu in FSX. this is the upper left menu that lets you launch SB, PMDG tools, etc? Yeah, it was GONE. After some poking around, I found the solution. THIS IS FOR FSX RUNNING ON WIN7 64-BIT.

• go to start orb, and type the following in run box: %appdata%\Microsoft\FSX
• this will open the FSX folder where your fsx.CFG is located
• Open fsx.CFG in editor
• Look for the section starting with [TRUSTED] Mine looks like this:

BEFORE editing, some had 0's and some had 1's. By changing them ALL to 2, I was able to get FSX to PROMPT me again for the add-ons, yes or no to trust. Saying YES to all got my menu back, I can now launch SB again. :) I am guessing the 0's are what hosed me, but I changed them ALL to 2's and let FSX prompt me when launched. When I ran it again, it worked. :) I now have my add-ons menu back. Hope this helps! :)

This did not work for me. Still searching for a solution.

This could go in the Tips & Tricks Forum, John! Good info; thanks.
