Would like to delete some of the disabled ActiveX Controls
under Manage Add-ons in Internet Explorer Properties
that no longer need. Can this be done and, if so, where
do I locate them to remove? Tx for any info.

You could use Internet Options> General> Temporary Internet Files> Details>
View Objects and delete from there. Or open Explorer/My Computer to the
Windows\Downloaded Programs folder. Right click on unwanted activex
controls and select uninstall.
 
Tx for reply. Had checked where you suggested and
ones would like to delete not listed. Have 15 ActiveX
Controls under Manage Add-ons and only 5 listed in
Downloaded Programs or under View Objects; none
of which are ones I've disabled or want to delete.

Will just leave ones don't need as disabled.
 
If they activeX controls they will be in the foilder Sharon mentioned. If
they are browser helper objects (BHOs) or toolbars, they are not in that
folder; you would need to uninstall or the app that installed them (or in
some BHO cases, there would be an option in the app not to load the BHO)
