    I have an MFC ActiveX control, when downloaded from a webpage,
    registers itself okay with XP and Win2000 machines, but not with NT
    machines. I have made sure that all the dlls needed by the ActiveX are
    there, and all up-to-date. And I can register my ActiveX just fine
    manually (using regsvr.exe) on those NT machines.

    Are there any security differences between NT and Win2000 & XP
    regarding ActiveX controls registration? Could this be related to some
    restricting permissions set on the registry of the NT machines that
    prevent the ActiveX to self-register from a webpage?

    Please help! Any suggestion or pointer would be greatly appreciated!
