I failed to mention this yesterday...
Start | Run | Type: %windir%\Downloaded Program Files |
Click OK | Right click each item one at a time | Select Properties |
On the General tab is ID:.
Which lists the CLSID of the item listed in Downloaded Program Files.
Norton sucks, so I do not have anything Norton/Symantec on my machine. So I
have no idea what WinDoctor looks like, etc.
For example, take {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} which is Shockwave
Flash.
flash.ocx is the file.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\macromed\flash\flash.ocx
Here is just one registry entry that is related...
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash
Value Name: CLSID
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
The Adobe Flash OCX is a small plug-in which renders the SWF movie on your
system. The Flash OCX (also referred to as the Flash Player) is available
free from Adobe.
A POS that I do not have. ;-)

Wesley, you are correct in your statement, all of the entries I mentioned
have the accolades you stated. I also checked the %windir portion as you
stated and five items were listed and none show as damaged, so I left
them as they were. Thank you for what you are trying to do for me. This
is my only way of learning things and I truly value the efforts you folks
are giving me.

CLSIDs start and end with accolades { }
What you posted is the equivalent of telling us that your address is 12.
Leaving out important info such as:

Start | Run | Type: %windir%\Downloaded Program Files |
Click OK | Right click each item one at a time | Select Properties |
If you see Damaged on the General tab, close Properties |
Right click that item again and Select Repair or Remove.

Wesley,
There are 24 of them, listed with big long numbers
(example-89E30300-764D-11d0-B282-00A0C90-F56FC). I am not sure where in
the registry these are located and don't won't to mess anything up.
Thats why I am trying to learn at this site, as to what and what not to
do. Like the one above, it just reads Active X item as invalid and
gives that big number. Sorry, but this is the best understanding I can
give.

Where in the registry. There are many places that ActiveX items are
listed.

Please don't everyone think of me as a total boob, I am new to this
arena, but not totally new to computing. I really felt that I needed
to expand my ability to learn how to fix things that are wrong with my
system, and therefore, I now look to you to HELP me along with some
education.
Question: I am using Norton System Works and when WinDoctor is run, I
constantly show that I have 24 invalid Active X entries in my
registry. Now everything seems to be working, but I was wanting to
find out if repair of these items might help to keep my system
running better?
