hi Mark,
You could start here, with microsoft's OLE/COM Object viewer.

It will show EVERYTHING on your system, but if you restrict yourself
to those objects under the "safe for scripting" category, you should
be all right.
Although, I must confess that I have written a number of objects for
use with scripting, and they don't show up in the above "safe"
category, even though I "think" they are safe. (O.K. you wise-guys,
you're saying that my code is never safe? -- then don't use it).
In other words, a programmer has to go through some "extra" stuff
to insure that microsoft will regard his/her stuff as safe. I have
seen discussions about how to mark something as safe, but I never
bothered to implement that.
Another possibility is Mark Pryor's TLViewer. That will generally
show the objects that may be scripted.

cheers, jw
