If by Internet Explorer you can’t see some SharePoint Document Library & List links like “Connect to Outlook” in “Action” menu or “Upload Multiple Files” in “Upload” menus in document libraries … it’s because that some SharePoint related Add-ons are disabled ! ( IE Security )
There is an ActiveX Control with name : STSSYNC
To Solve this issue in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 or 8 , go to Tools , Manage Add-ons , Enable or Disable Add-ons . Look for SharePoint Stssync handler and Enable it . Then restart your Internet Explorer . ( Close All & Open New Window )
There are also some related Add-ons that may help you Enable other functionalities:
- SharePoint Export Database Launcher –> Open with Access
- SharePoint OpenDocuments Calss
- SharePoint Spreadsheet Launcher –> Export To Spreadsheet
- SharePoint Stssync Handler –> Connect To Outlook
- SharePoint OpenXML Documents
- STS Upld Upload Ctl Class –> Upload Multiple Docs
- Microsoft Office Visio 12 Diagram Launch Control –> Create Visio Digram
I also should Thanks to Cornell, Scott because his blog first helped me to solve this issue .
I am trying to link to outlook, but, as you have stated above, this icon is not showing up in my list of actions. I checked my activeX controls and STSSYNC is Enabled . . . any other ideas?
Thanks,
T
I think you’d better to check your browser security and all sharepoint related add-ons
