How do I enable or disable ActiveX Filtering within Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer?

To enable or disable ActiveX Filtering, please visit the following link:

• Use ActiveX controls

Note: The version of Internet Explorer can be selected in the upper-right of the webpage.

Additionally, ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9+ can prevent Adobe add-ons from functioning properly, as it disables ActiveX controls. Some symptoms of this include:

• Adobe Flash Player not being detected
• Flash Player content not playing despite being enabled and up-to-date
• PDF's not displaying in the browser despite Adobe Reader being current, configured, and enabled (e.g. Letter Center letters or PDF Full Text articles from the University Library)

Note: In some cases, you may need to perform the steps below:

1. Right-click the blank box where the content should be displayed
2. Click Play

The Flash Plug-in will initialize and then load the missing content.
