Restoring Functionality to the Downloaded Program Files Folder
This article was previously published under Q174925
The "Downloaded Program Files" folder contains functionality that enables
you to easily uninstall ActiveX controls. When this folder is deleted, a
new "Downloaded Program Files" folder is created the next time Internet
Explorer downloads new program files. However, the newly created folder
does not contain the functionality to easily uninstall ActiveX controls.
This article describes how to restore this functionality to the new
folder.
To restore the ability to easily uninstall ActiveX controls, follow these
steps:
- Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.
- Type cd\, and then press ENTER.
- Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cd <windows>\system
where <windows> is the folder in which Windows is installed.
- Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
regsvr32 /i occache.dll
- Type exit, and then press ENTER to return
to Windows
6 Click Start, click Shut Down, click Restart, and then click OK.
Controls that were deleted with the original folder are listed with a
status of Damaged. These controls should be removed because the associated
files have already been deleted.
