    Live Mesh allows you to sync files across multiple devices such as a desktop computer, laptop, smartphone devices. The ActiveX control is an extension that used by Live Mesh when you are accessing your files on different devices through Internet Explorer.

    According to Microsoft in case if you have two or more computers running Windows 7 or in that case Windows Vista, you can make use of Windows Live Mesh in order to sync program settings in between them. You can sync your favorites inside Internet Explorer, in addition to it if you have Microsoft Office installed, you will be able to sync your styles, templates, custom dictionary, and also in addition to it email signatures.

    If you don't need this feature, you can uninstall it without it affecting your computer.

    Thank you for the thoughtful answer, Andre.  I recently installed DropBox on my Fujitsu Win-7 64-bit laptop.  From your description, it sounds like those Live Mesh features are what DropBox is doing. 

    Did DropBox install it when I installed their Ap, or was it already there?

    Do I need it to run DropBox?  Or does DropBox replace its function?

    Lastly ... why is the name in French(?).
