How to remove ActiveX controls from computer?

[Bandish]

Hello all,
I have found that I have now lost my Menu Bar in Google or Internet Explorer - the one with Favorites, etc., in it. I expect that this too is due to the activex installed. Can anybody tell me how to remove ActiveX control?

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Determining which ActiveX Control is causing a problem can be almost impossible so since they're safe to delete, removing them one by one to determine the cause of the problem is a valuable troubleshooting step. Go through this Microsoft Article on How to Remove an ActiveX Control in Windows.
