If you can identify the .ocx file with IE add-ons then search for it and
delete it if you no longer want it. There is a free utility called Active
XCavator that may help in finding ActiveX but be very careful with it to
make sure you do not delete anything you need. Checking the publisher name
may help in making that decision. You can use RegSeeker to clean up the
registry to remove entries no loner associated with a program and do other
handy things with the registry.--- Steve
