I just have one question: What kind of control is the Flash Player, or Windows Update control? Whenever I create ActiveX stuff, and publish it, it gives a lousy security warning and ignores the control, however, the Flash Player gets a 'nice' Yes/No screen. Why is my control denied, and not that player (or any cheap plugin on a ! site)? How do I create a certain kind of program?

They are all Active X controls except some are verified by companies like VeriSign so have special permissions etc.

I saw that some codebase things are set to CODEBASE="something.exe", are those activex controls? And I have my own certificate thing, I might sign my own stuff..
