You register ActiveX controls from the Run dialog in Windows:

Start >>> Run

then type:

regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\ControlName.ocx"

or whatever path there is to the control. When you hit Enter or click OK,
you usually get back a message that the action succeeded, but sometme
controls will not need registering and you'll get a message to that effect.

In Access, you set a Reference to the control in a code window:

Tools >>> References

then find and check the ActiveX control that you want to reference.
