The Active XCavator control examines the registry of your machine and reads the entries which ActiveX controls create. From this information, Active XCavator finds the file which the entries describe. Active XCavator then extracts all information stored in the file and displays it along with the registry data. For controls which were downloaded from the internet, Active XCavator gets the data from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionModuleUsage subkeys. For controls which were installed with applications, Active XCavator gets the data from the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTTypeLib subkeys.
When a control file is high-lighted and the "Delete" button is pressed, Active XCavator tries to delete the selected file. If the deletion is successful, the registry entry referring to the file, is removed from the ModuleUsage subkey and/or the TypeLib subkey.
When Active XCavator finds a registry entry for a file which is no longer present on the hard disk, the "Control" information is listed as, "File is not in its registered location". This means that the file has already been moved or deleted from the disk. If the "Delete" button is pressed, the registry entry for this file will be removed.
