Yes, the Add-on Manager in XP SP2 and above allows users to easily disable specific ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer. It’s worth mentioning though that this is not technically equivalent to setting a Kill-Bit. So for example, Windows applications that respect the Kill-Bit to block ActiveX controls may or may not respect the Add-on Manager settings.
