To make Internet Explorer (IE) only able to run certain ActiveX controls, run regedit and modify the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\AllowedControls. Add an entry for the CLSID of each control that you want to allow. Make the data type DWORD, and to allow the control to run in IE, set the value to zero.

Some common CLSIDs:

{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} Flash
{22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95} MediaPlayer
{06DD38D3-D187-11CF-A80D-00C04FD74AD8} Plug-ins, including Acrobat Reader
{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000} Acrobat Reader
{CFCDAA03-8BE4-11CF-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA} Real Player
{02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B} QuickTime
{166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000} ShockWave

You can View Source on a page, the look for the <object> or <applet> tags to find the CLSID of some other control.

Then go into IE Tools Internet Options dialog and set the security settings for the various zones Run ActiveX and Plugins property to Administrator Approved. Only the controls that have a value of zero in the registry will be able to run.
