So it's basically deleting a registry key which can exist in one of 4 possible locations:

Try either HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as starting points.

Then check Software > Microsoft > Office > Excel > Addins and Software > Wow6432Node > Microsoft > Office > Excel > Addins and delete the subfolders under Addins that belong to the Addin you want to silence Excel asking about. Worked for me in Win7 / Excel2013
