Description
IE7: ActiveX control:
In order to run pre-approved controls without prompt, the installer should add registry key value at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved for the pre-approved controls. This key value should be added for plugin and webstart.
Comments
EVALUATION ActiveX Opt-In is the IE7 feature. By default, ActiveX Opt-In disables the controls on a usr's machine. When the user encounters a Web page with a disabled ActiveX control, the user will see an Information bar with the following text:"This site mught require the following ActiveX control:'ABC' from 'XYX'. CLick here to allow the control to run..." The user can choose to enable the ActiveX control from this Information bar. In order to avoiding the Information bar, The Java ActiveX controls are added into to the pre-approved list in the registry.
