Download ActiveX Files To A Specfic Location

The default path where the ActiveX files are installed when you download an ActiveX control is Windows\Downloaded Program Files. It is good thing to change this location.This saves your OS. Just open Regedit(START>>RUN>>Type REGEDIT)

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

Change the ActiveXCache String Value to the desired download location like?F:\MyActiveX?.



Also

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ActiveX Cache

Here, change the ?0? value to the same folder you specified in the other location.You just need to restart IE for the change to take effect.
