Right click and select Remove for the damaged files.
Downloaded Program Files are ActiveX controls and Java applets downloaded
automatically from the Internet when you view certain pages. They are
temporarily stored in the Downloaded Program Files folder on your hard
disk.
Downloaded Program Files is a Hidden folder.
Internet Explorer | Tools | Internet Options |
General tab | Settings button | View Objects button |
Opens the C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files folder.
So does typing or pasting...
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files
into Start | Run
Status displays whether the control is installed, damaged, or unplugged.
Damaged means that one or more of the dependency files has been deleted.
Unplugged means that an installation program has registered the .ocx file in
a location different from where the code download installed it.
Unless you have AutoCAD, there is nothing in Downloaded Program Files that
cannot be replaced simply by visiting the web page that you downloaded it
from in the first place. A Damaged DPF does no good what so ever. Remove
it. Half of what is in there is probably spyware anyway.
