Answer : Administrator Approved Controls

Hi,

Quote from MSDN :

"Q:  I have an application that downloads ActiveX® controls in an HTML page. On certain machines the download fails, but if I give the user local admin rights, the download succeeds. What are the specific privileges that need to be granted to a user for them to be able to download ActiveX controls via HTML pages?



A:  Don't hack your user privileges to allow them to install ActiveX controls, as this would allow users to install any arbitrary code and trash the machine. You should deploy the ActiveX controls to the users in a Microsoft® Installer (MSI) package through Active Directory® so that you don't have to loosen user restrictions. You can also use Systems Management Server (SMS) or your tool of choice."

HTH
Cheers
