If you get sufficient permissions, you should get a successful message after attempting to merge the exported and edited. If you don’t do that, you’ll most probably get “Error accessing the registry” messages.

What you need to do is first get ownership of the keys to your user account from TrustedInstaller, then give your User Account (or the Administrators group) full permissions on those keys. You’re most probably going to run into issues merging the key back into the registry, as the permissions of all HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT subkeys are pretty strict.I’m not sure if just including the Implemented Categories will suffice, but I copied the whole key just in case. If you’re running a 64-bit version of Windows, you need to make a copy of the whole key (with the above lines) and make sure to merge it under the Wow6432Node key of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT as well.So, first, you need to go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry, find the GUID of the control you want to mark as safe (in my case, ]Īdding these two GUIDs as Implemented Categories for that object marks it as safe across the system. So, what did work? Hat tip to user semjon from this thread (with further explanation here), you can selectively disable any and all security checks on specific ActiveX controls. So even if you don’t browse using Internet Explorer, malicious scripts can still take advantage of that security setting, if disabled.

vbs files, practically anything the Windows Scripting Host supports. ActiveX controls can be initialized from inside. If you’re thinking “but I’m not using Internet Explorer, what do I care?”, then you haven’t read what I’ve written above. You’re opening yourself to all kinds of trouble if you allow all unsafe ActiveX controls to run without warning. I enabled that setting in all of the zones, went to the Advanced tab to enable “Allow active content to run in files on My Computer”, and even went to the hidden My Computer zone (Zone 0) in the registry to manually set the appropriate flag (1201) to 0, thus enabling unsafe ActiveX controls from local scripts. However, that didn’t stop me, and I took it five steps too far.

No relevant zone is there in Windows 7 anymore, as the My Computer zone has been hidden. Well, first of all, this is a local script, running from my local drive. Next, I followed a catch-all solution that’s plastered in message boards around the web, saying to enable the “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” in the “relevant zone” in the Security tab of Internet Options. That didn’t work for me, as it was never ticked in the first place.

Talking about the WSH Panel Mod extension for foobar2000, the most popular solution is to go to its preferences and disable (untick) Safe Mode. This is a quite popular error outside of foobar2000 as well, as a number of developers seem to have similar issues when using those calls. And the JavaScript files included with spotifoo, as well as most other foobar2000 skins which use the WSH Panel Mod, had calls to new ActiveXObject(something), where something was one of those unsafe ActiveX Objects. I would imagine this is a recent change that must’ve been applied to my Windows 7 installation via Windows Update, given how I wasn’t having these problems for years now. So, what’s going on here is that certain ActiveX Objects, including Scripting.FileSystemObject and WScript.Shell, have been deemed unsafe. Finally, I’ve just found the solution, but it’s in no way an elegant one. I have been trying to find a solution for this for weeks, I even switched to MusicBee for a while but I HAD to get my foobar2000 back. I checked the console, and it was full of “Automation Server Can’t Create Object” errors.

However, recently, and with no indication as to what caused this change, when I started up foobar, most of the panels of the spotifoo skin were replaced by an “Aw, crashed! :(” message, and I was getting multiple errors about an unexpected script issue. I loved it even more when I found out spotifoo (a skin for foobar2000), which although now a couple of years old, does everything I want (including Last.fm scrobbling, play count and love) and still has a very uncluttered and space-effective interface. It’s lightweight, straight-forward, and so customizable it’s ridiculous.
