I have an app which is running a mix of ASP, ASP.NET, VBScript client side,
JScript client-side and ActiveX controls downloaded to the client (of
course). I am attempting to troubleshoot a truely weird problem at a client
site. A couple of things would help me a ton:

1. I can see the ActiveX controls in c:\windows\Downloaded Program Files. Is
there a place in the IE UI where one can look at the ActiveX controls that
IE knows about? Is there any other location at which IE could be finding
these controls? I need to make sure that the version IE is finding is the
version I want it to be.

2. Our app opens windows without any toolbars. So I have no menu from whcih
I can select View Source. I beleive that there are keyboard shortcuts to
enable menus in a window. Am I mistaken? Is there any way to show a menu or
a short cut key to view source? The error I am experiencing is client-side.
And I have a lovely line number, which bears no relationship to the source
code available on the server, of course.

3. Is there a way to dump all the IE settings (Tools, Options), patricularly
the advanced settings to a file for reading? I would like to compare
machine(s) that are working to ones that are not. Since I have no specific
idea about what settings might be at issue, I cannot ask the customer to
check this setting or that setting. I would also like to minimize the work
for the customer.

All the customers are running IE 6.

Thanks much!

Stephanie
