Attributes for ActiveX objects

only if you know the exact name of the object you're searching for. Therefore, you should browse for the control you're looking for; to do this, double-click the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder. With the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder open, you can see folders for each registered item. Entries are listed by file extension, name, and GUID. The named entries are what you're looking for. Many ActiveX controls are filed beginning with the keyword Internet.

When you find the entry, double-click its folder to see subfolders associated with the entry. The CLSID subfolder is the one you want to examine, so double-click it. Now, in the right pane of the Registry Editor, you should see the CLSID associated with the entry. If you double-click the word Default shown in the Name field, the Edit String dialog box is displayed. With the CLSID highlighted, you can press Ctrl+C to copy the CLSID to the Clipboard; then when you're ready to use the CLSID, simply paste the value from the Clipboard with Ctrl+V.
