ActiveXHelper1.12

ActiveX is a software framework that adapts earlier Component Object Model and Object Linking and Embedding technologies for content downloaded from a network.Given the framework format, ActiveX is made up of tens of components each performing their own role. Proper system functioning is only possible if all the right ActiveX components are working at any given time, thus the need to know which components are installed and active at any given time, and that is precisely what ActiveXHelper does.

A standalone program that is relatively easy to learn

One significant aspect of ActiveXHelper is that it is a standalone program, meaning that you don't need to install it on your system to benefit from all its services., just like you would a portable application. This poses the added advantage that no system registry will be used when using this tool.Before you get to view the ActiveX components running, you are first greeted by a window where you must specify what exact ActiveX components interest you.For example, you can choose from which Registry key should they be retrieved, or whether you want to look for them from within a text file or a CLSID/ProggID list.

View a comprehensive list of all ActiveX components active on your PC

As mentioned above, you will be presented with the complete list of all ActiveX components running on your system, regardless of how significant or small they may be.Like with a Task Manager, if you consider that a given ActiveX component is harming your system's performance, you can choose to view its properties, and in some cases, disable it altogether.

A comprehensive way of listing all ActiveX components

ActiveXHelper is a relatively simple program considering what it does, and while it may not have a place in every common user's PC, those that know what to do with it will put it to good use.
