Hi,

I would think you have installed the KB912945 update (through e.g.
Windows Update):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945/

Microsoft had to do this to to be in compliance with the Eolas
Technologies patent verdict, more about this here:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1932304,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K0000594

Note that this update will be included in the next security update for
IE (most likely released next month). So if you don't want this ActiveX
behavior to happen, you need to uninstall KB912945 and never more
install a security update for IE, not the most safest thing to do
though ;-)

Stupid patent stuff. Who earns anything from this? EOLAS get nothing,
MS have to change IE, and users all over the world has looses
functionallity until the web-developers change their pages to load
scripts from an extra external file - totally unnessesary (if someone
should look at this in a 100 year they would shake their head :-)

Stuff like this makes me so mad (grrrrr)
