How to enable npapi plugin by registry or configuration file?

In Chrome version 42.0.2311.90 m, NPAPI support has been disabled by default in Chrome. Is there a way to re-enable it via the registry or configuration file?

This worked for me. It enables NPAPI, the Netscape API which then enables items on the whitelist. Note this will only work until September when Chrome disables NPAPI forever.

  1. Create the registry file with this content:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\EnabledPlugins]
"1"="npapi"
"2"="Silverlight"

  2. Run registry file.

  3. Reboot

Modify /create this REG_SZ (string value) key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\EnabledPlugins\1

With a value of “Java”

[if 1 exists, use 2, etc.]

Unfortunately I can't post images yet, but under EnabledPlugins, you should have a (Default) key. Add the exceptions like so:

Name...........Type..........Data

(Default)......REG_SZ........(value not set)

1..............REG_SZ........Java

2..............REG_SZ........Silverlight

etc...

The # for the name doesn't matter as far as what program it is associated with (Silverlight can be 1, Java 2, e.g.)
