Some ActiveX <http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki%7EActiveX> files (such as MSCOMCT2.OCX) have the OLESelfRegister <http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki%7EEdit%7EOLESelfRegister> property (seen in the Version tab of the file properties dialog) which can result in unintended and undesirable situations if the control self-registers to the wrong place. This can occur when running an application without installing it, such as from from a folder on a server, CD ROM, USB stick, etc. When the application uses an ActiveX <http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki%7EActiveX> control that is not registered on the workstation, but for which a copy exists in the EXE folder, the copy will be used and will register itself using the mapped drive or UNC path of the EXE folder. This then becomes the registered location for the OCX, and when it is changed or removed the controls in the OCX are no longer usable. Using Reg Svr 32 <http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki%7ERegSvr32> or similar techniques to register an instance of the OCX in a suitable folder (typically %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32) is usually corrective.
