How to Automatically Install Active X
ActiveX controls are add-ons installed by websites that require ActiveX for online interaction. Only the Internet Explorer browser supports ActiveX controls, and by default, the browser will prompt you before installation. You must change the security settings to turn off this prompt. Then, when you navigate to a website that requires ActiveX, the control will automatically install.
