Types of user accounts
There are two types of user accounts available on your computer: computer administrator and limited. The guest account is available by default for users with no assigned account on the computer.

Computer administrator account

The computer administrator account is intended for someone who can make systemwide changes to the computer, install software, and access all non-private files on the computer. Only a user with a computer administrator account has full access to other user accounts on the computer. A user with a computer administrator account:

a.. Can create and delete user accounts on the computer.
b.. Can change other users' account names, pictures, passwords, and account types.
c.. Cannot change his or her own account type to limited unless there is at least one other user with a computer administrator account. This ensures that there is always at least one user with a computer administrator account on the computer.
d.. Can manage his or her network passwords, create a reset password disk, and set up his or her account to use a .NET Passport.
Limited account

The limited account is intended for someone who should be prohibited from changing most computer settings and deleting important files. A user with a limited account:

a.. Generally cannot install software or hardware, but can access programs that have already been installed on the computer.
b.. Can change his or her account picture and can also create, change, or delete his or her password.
c.. Cannot change his or her account name or account type. A user with a computer administrator account must make these kinds of changes.
d.. Can manage his or her network passwords, create a reset password disk, and set up his or her account to use a .NET Passport.
Note

a.. Using a limited account might help prevent computer viruses from damaging your computer. However, some programs might not work properly for users with limited accounts.
Guest account

The guest account is intended for use by someone who has no user account on the computer. There is no password for the guest account, so the user can log on quickly to check e-mail or browse the Internet. A user logged on to the guest account:

a.. Cannot install software or hardware, but can access applications that have already been installed on the computer.
b.. Cannot change the guest account type.
c.. Can change the guest account picture.
Note

a.. You might see an account with the name "Owner" when you first log on. The owner account, with computer administrator privileges, is created during installation if no user accounts are set up at that time. You can rename this account with a user's name.

I am a true amature. I followed the link Ramesh provided and believe it or
not, (I can't) I fixed the problem. It took a few days to figure out what I
was supposed to do because of fear of deleting something and ruining my total
computer, but gained faith, followed-through, and fixed the problem. You
guys ROCK!

Post the contents of this key. Right-click and choose Export.

Is the problem seen in other user profiles also?

Wade,

I've not verified all the CLSID, but one of which may be related to Adobe.
In the Manage Add-on window, right-click the column border and select "Class
ID" column. Then view the corresponding CLSID for the blocked Adobe control.
Example: http://www.winxptutor.com/sp2/addonpol2.JPG

Once you note down the CLSID, delete the corresponding value entry from this
key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]

I wish there were some place to post this and the XP Pro fix - it seems that
MANY people have this problem.

But, {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000} was not present in the REG
export you posted earlier.

You're welcome, Wade. BTW, what's the CLSID for Adobe?

Ramesh, you are a god

It was the missing Class ID column (not shown) in my reg edit and nowing
which key to look under.

I wish there were some place to post this and the XP Pro fix - it seems
that
MANY people have this problem.

Wade,

I've not verified all the CLSID, but one of which may be related to
Adobe.
In the Manage Add-on window, right-click the column border and select
"Class
ID" column. Then view the corresponding CLSID for the blocked Adobe
control.
Example: http://www.winxptutor.com/sp2/addonpol2.JPG

Once you note down the CLSID, delete the corresponding value entry from
this
key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID]
(if exists)

:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext\CLSID

with a lot of type REG_SZ data=0

this only affects the current user account, which is the machine
administrator; all others of limited access have no trouble and can
enable/disable at will


:

Wade,

Post the contents of this key. Right-click and choose Export.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\EXT

Is the problem seen in other user profiles also?

actually, I do have

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\EXT
but no CLSID

and in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\

no EXT

:

using regedit (i don't have Pro and don't have group policy editor

I'm looking for the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\EXT

but have no "EXT" folder ???

(XP home under administrator account)


BTW, this is a huge problem that a lot of people seem to be trying
to
solve
to fix Acrobat ActiveX problems

and I could not figure out how to attach the exported .reg file
