In Windows XP Service Pack 1, when a Web page refers to an ActiveX control that is not currently on the computer, users are asked whether they want ActiveX controls to be downloaded. In Windows XP SP2, this is displayed in the Information Bar.

The Information Bar alerts you when Internet Explorer blocks a pop-up window or file download that might not be safe.
