19-01-2014 ActiveX for Internet Explorer 8,9 & 10 (under Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows Vista )

Enable ActiveX Controls under UAC policy (Uptade 19-01-2014)

User Account Control (UAC) is a technology and security infrastructure introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, with a more relaxed version also present in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012. It aims to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase or elevation. In this way, only applications trusted by the user may receive administrative privileges, and malware should be kept from compromising the operating system. In other words, a user account may have administrator privileges assigned to it, but applications that the user runs do not inherit those privileges unless they are approved beforehand or the user explicitly authorizes it.

To Enable ActiveX Controls under UAC, have administrator access rights is necessary.
