Internet Explorer requires you to click ActiveX controls on web pages before they become "active" Friday, April 7, 2006 at 8:35 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Robert (4 messages posted) Microsoft recently released a Windows Update (KB912945) that changes the way embedded objects (ActiveX controls) work in web pages viewed in Internet Explorer. To remove this annoyance, simply follow these instructions: 1) Open the Add/Remove Programs applet from the Windows Control Panel. 2) Check the box at the top for Show Updates. 3) Scroll to the bottom and find the "Security Update" with (KB912945) after it, and click on it, then click the Remove button. 4) You will have to restart your computer for this change to take effect. 5) The next time you run Windows/Microsoft Update, use the Custom option instead of Express so you can set this update to never show again.
