Security Settings for COM objects in Office
Hi, I am trying to insert an ActiveX control "Microsoft Web Browser", but I got an error "Cannot insert object".
I found that the problem should be that I need to change the value of 'Compatibility Flags' 'REG_DWORD' to 000000. However, I cannot find where to change.
The path is supposed to be "[Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\COM Compatibility\{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}]", but in my computer, there is no subkey called COM Compatibility under the Common folder, so I don't know where I can set the Office COM kill bit in the registry.
My system is 64-bit Windows 10 and Excel is 64-bit Office 365.
