Programmatically remove an old Java Webstart application

i previously published a webstart application at some URL,

and users downloaded my app (and it created desktop shortcut icons, file associations, etc.)

now I publish a standalone Java application with a full installer and everything.

my problem is: old users now see 2 icons - the icon from Webstart,

and the new icon from my new application.

of course I could tell the user to run "javaws", select the old outdated entry, then click Remove.

but is there a way that I can programmatically do that (so that in my standalone app's

application code it just "performs" it?)

thx
