Andres,

To list all installed Activex controls look under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID or download NirSoft's Activex Helper.

To then load and use that component in an HTML context try something along the lines of the following:

<HTML>
...
<H1>Activex</H1><p>
...
<OBJECT
   classid="..."
          codebase="..."
 ID="whateverX"
...

</OBJECT><br><br>
...
</HTML>

If you're trying to do what I THINK you're trying to do - I'd recommend loading the control into a RAD environment such as Delphi, VB or whatever that will let you see the properties, methods and events that you will need to know to then write the html.

Hope this helps,

Wil

Hi Pavan,

what I am looking for is not MS products installed by ActiveX.
I want to use some ActiveX Control installed by default on the system.

And then show how an HTML page viewed in My Computer Sec zone can use it to
take some actions on the system.

Any ideas,

cheers

andy
