 ActiveX Manager

How many times have you tried to register/unregister an ActiveX control (OCX)

and wished there was a better way to do it then REGSVR32?

ActiveX Manager enables users and developers to manage ActiveX Controls installed on their PC the easy way. It is great for users who surf the web and want to keep their system clean (ActiveX Manager helps you clean controls installed by Internet Explorer). ActiveX Manager provides a simple yet slick user interface that enables you to view registered controls, remove misbehaved controls, register new controls and more. ActiveX Manager also provides fast access from Windows Explorer via a pop-up menu.

ActiveX Manager allows you to view a list of all the ActiveX Controls installed on your machine. You can view the information about each control like TypeLib, GUID, ProgID etc. It displays all the controls in a list specifying via an icon which control is misbehaved and which is properly installed.
