Hi, just curious, it looks like ActiveX files have a Win32 PE header. Can MASM32 create these? Google isn't much help, thanks. :)

I think they are literally just PE files.
What the actual contents are is a slightly different matter :bdg

Yeah, they do. They are just COM dlls in disguise. You should have no problem creating them in MASM, you just got to know which interfaces you have to implement, as ActiveX components are usually created with a HLL the specs for those interfaces may be hard to come by.
