| Description |
|---|
| Some Component Object Model (COM) components are not required for most applications and should be removed if possible. Most notably, consider disabling the File System Object component; however, this will also remove the Dictionary object. Be aware some programs may require this component (e.g., Commerce Server), so it is highly recommended this be tested completely before implementing on the production web server. |
