Situation
Windows workstations that have run Novell Portal Services or Novell
exteNd Director 4.1 in the past may have installed an activeX
control that could potentially allow for malicious code to run on
the workstation.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, create a text file that contains this text
(NOTE: use notepad or another text editor, NOT word pad, or a word
processor), here's the text:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{2B1AA38D-2D12-11D5-AAD0-00C04FA03D78}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
Save the text file and rename it to Novell-Killbit.reg (make sure that it doesn't have a .txt hidden extension)
Next, double click on the .reg file just created, and when prompted to add to the registry, click Yes
The above entry disables the particular activeX control that was at one time used by Novell exteNd Director Standard Edition 4.1
