Does anyone know how to remove objects from the folder
C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files

This is the folder that is displayed when going to Internet Options > General Tab/Browsing History/Settings > View Objects. There are often ActiveX objects in this folder which are listed as "Damaged" or are otherwise corrupted.

Back in Windows XP it was a simple as right-clicking on a damaged object and choosing "Remove" or "Delete."
Under Windows Vista it does not appear that there is a way to remove objects from this folder.

I've read that this feature has been removed from Windows Vista... and that you're supposed to now use the "Manage Add-Ons" dialog to remove ActiveX controls. Take a look at my Downloaded Program Files folder, however... there's an object names {6414512b-b978...yadda yadda. This does not show up in my Manage Add-Ons dialog... does anyone know how to remove this object??
