For that matter, every thing is "server side" but I see what
you mean about them being hidden. But I believe everything on
a webpage is "downloaded" in some manner to the PC, as should
ActiveX controls be. Then shouldn't it be possible to look in
the "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files" folder to see what
ActiveX was most recently added or modified after visiting a
webpage?
Apparently not. I had the folder open when I went to a site
and ALLOWED ALL content, and the folder contents remained the
same! ???
I did however find that it's SpyWare Blaster that's blocking
the ActiveX (therefore giving that ANNOYING warning that won't
go away), but the problem is it blocks thousands of ActiveX
controls and you have no way of knowing which! And like I
said, it was never downloaded to the folder like other ActiveX
is.

Thats because ActiveX is server side and closed to public view,
especially the version in use. Plus its a mind boggingly stupid
language
to use. And it's use is only supported in IE thank god :)
But if you really wanted to know you would have to contact the
web
master of the site in question.
