On this page in about the middle you will see this:

ActiveX initialization

After that you will see this:

The value name UFIControls can be set for either of these nodes to the following values and respective actions:

Value name: UFIControls

Value type: REG_DWORD



After that you will see this:



Safe For Initialization (SFI) is a term used by ActiveX developers to mark a control as being safe to open and run and not capable of causing ill effects to any systems, regardless of whether it has persisted data values or not. If a control is not marked SFI, it is possible for the control to adversely affect a system - or it is merely possible the developers did not test the control in all situations and are not sure whether their control may be compromised at some future date.



After that you will see this:



2 If SFI, load the control in safe mode and use persisted values (if any). If not SFI, load in un-safe mode with persisted values (if any), or use the default (first-time initialization) settings. This setting does not prompt the user.



OK I am done. Now should UIControls rerally say, SFIControls? In other words should the registry entry key be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Common\Security

UFIControls

REG_DWORD

or

SFIControls
REG_DWORD

?

Thanks.
