OCX files are Microsoft ActiveX components used in applications and web browsers for website interaction. For instance, advanced media like Adobe Flash Player use an ActiveX control to render clean images and allow you to interact with a flash cartoon. ActiveX components are placed into the computer’s registry, which takes up resources when booting the computer and loading the operating system. If an ActiveX component is no longer used, then removing it saves resources on the computer. Unregistering a component only takes a few steps. Writer Bio
