"Delete Active-X Add-On" Button Greyed-Out??

Dale Franks

Today I went to remove an Active-X "Add-On", and discovered that the "Delete
Active X" button is "greyed-out" ... I can't delete any in the list. I've
scanned for viruses and spyware with the latest updates, and I'm clean.

I can only guess that some outside internet shennanigans was attempted in
the past, and changed the registry key that activates the button.

HELP!!!

Located At ...
Control Panel
Internet Options icon
Programs Icon
Manage Add-Ons" button
Delete Active X" button (greyed-out)

Thanks ALL!!!

Dale,

Go to the Downloaded Program Files folder in the Windows folder & delete it from
there if it exists

If the ActiveX is located in the System32 folder then I don't suggest you delete
it

Sometimes, ActiveX files are in the associated programs Program Files folder
too...

Where do you see that button? If you go via Internet Options > General tab,
Temp Internet Files > Settings > View Objects you get "Delete this item"
under Folder Tasks or "Remove program file" on the File menu after you have
selected an object..
HTH,
ern.
