For XP Home, if I have a limited user account, can I still install ActiveX files? Like say Adobe Flash wants to install, can I install this if I am a limited user? I haven't tested it yet and I will do some testing in a bit but just for right now before I head off to work I'd like to find out if this is possible or not. Thanks.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), no. In Vista there is a way to allow standard users to install approved controls, but nothing like that exists in XP.

If you install the controls as an admin, they will work for the standard users.
