To tell the truth, they're not very well regarded in these parts, except by their
employees pretending to be satisfied users and spamming the newsgroup.

I think you can let that one go. Dead command bars are harmless and can be deleted
even w/o VBA.

I'm not familiar with the first two; ShortCut Mgrs' author appears here fairly
often. Chirag ... step forward, say hello to the nice gentleman.

OK. The four inactives are from MS; I think they're part of every 2007 install.
Let's set those aside too.

Another reason to yell for Chirag. He's got a VERY nice add-in reporting tool but I
don't know if it's been updated for PPT2007 yet. Ooooohhh CHIRAG?
Under both
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
check:
\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\AddIns
\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\PowerPoint\Addins
