Before you go ahead and download a registry cleaner understand why it
is necessary. As a web page loads on your system, you may be prompted
to install several ActiveX components before the page can be fully
downloaded. This is so that the browser can interpret the ActiveX
components and display them properly on the system. This only would
only occur if the controls used in the web page were not already on
the system. If you decline permission for the installation, the page
will not function properly. However, once these ActiveX controls are
on your system, you won't have to download them again, even when you
come across them on other web sites. These downloads clutter up the
registry over time and need to be removed with the help of some
registry shareware cleaner.
Other ID Tags
So how can the web page determine that the required ActiveX controls
are not installed on the system or not? The browser does this by
referring to the 'CLSID' in the 'OBJECT' tag of the web page. To cut a
long explanation short, an ActiveX control is added to a web page
using theand container tags. The 'CLSID' is unique to each ActiveX
component it is with the 'CLSID' that you specify which control you
are using. The Registry has a special section for CLSID and they run
into thousands of ID's. The useless records in the Registry have to be
removes with the aid of a registry cleaner. Free PC registry cleaners
are available for download and help keep the system running smoothly.
If you were to look at a CLSID it would look something like this: CLS
