Disable 'Click to activate this control'

This fix may no longer be needed; please read below.

In February, 2006 Microsoft modified its Internet Explorer web browser to appear to side-step the Eolas patent. The change, first discussed in 2003, requires users to click once on an ActiveX control to "activate" it before they can use its interface. The specific message is "Click to activate this control", shown as a tooltip when the cursor is held over the embedded object. However, following a November 2007 announcement that Microsoft had "licensed the technologies from Eolas", in April 2008 Microsoft released an update which removed the click to activate functionality reverting the software to its original design.
