Using the details given in the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182569, I could easily change AciveX settings for IE by editing the following 4 registry entries for on Win7-IE10.

  1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2201
  2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1001
  3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1200
  4. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1405

But on Win8.1 IE11, I don't see above 4(2201, 1001, 1200, 1405) registry entries for ActveX under Zones section. Is there any alternative on Win8.1 to change Internet Explorer ActiveX setting using registry?

Finally found the solution! We can manually add the following missing registry entries in Win8.1. 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2201
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1001
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1200
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1405

After adding these entries, we can modify the activex setting for IE on Win8.1, by editing the these entries accordingly. It works awesomely.
