My Add-In has no rights for everything

I started programming an WLM Add-In with VB.NET.
The problem is, that it has no rights to do anything with the FileSystem of
the Computer (That includes reading, check if a file exists, writing...).
The same with the registry.
And the settings reset after resatrt of WLM.
It's because my Add-In is not 'trusted'. This never happens in a normal
windows application.
How to fix that?

Greetings,

This is by design and one of the reasons why it's not really exposed by default (registry key
to turn on). Add-Ins are sandboxed so you can't really do much...

Depending on what you're doing you may want to use the Messenger Plus Scripting interface as
you can do anything you want on the computer, without restrictions.

There is no way to make your add-in save settings?
Why is there a settings button you can configure then? :S
Plus? NO THANKS! I'm not going to install this - I don't like Plus...
