Where does Internet Explorer store its add-ons?

I checked everything around the registry and I could not find lists of all installed extensions.

At this point, any general arrangement of IE extensions / additions will help.

Taken from here :

Browser Helper Objects - Browser plugins designed to improve browser functionality. Entries can be found in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects 

Toolbars . Additional toolbars that appear in the browser are often below the address bar. Entries can be found in the registry at:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar 

URLSearchHooks . Used when the address bar without a protocol such as http: // is specified in the address bar of the browser. Entries can be found in the registry at:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks 

Explorer Bars - Internet Explorer sidebars located next to the browser panel. Entries can be found in the registry at:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars 

In addition, custom items for the context menu :

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\<Menu Text> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\<Menu Text> 

Custom items for the Tools menu, custom toolbar buttons :

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{GUID}
