Shortcut to force Sun Java to re-integrate into IE6?
Hello. On our Laptop images, Sun Java hasn't integrated into IE6.
Is there any scriptable way to achieve this, other than asking users to Run the program "JPICPL32.CPL", open its "Advanced" tab, expand "<APPLET> tag support", and tick the "Internet Explorer" tickbox ?
Sun Java's "UseJava2IExplorer" Registry DWORD value (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/runtime_windows.html) appears merely a quick-lookup for this "Internet Explorer" tickbox in its Java Control Panel, and never provoked IE6 integration after a reboot. The deep IE6 integrations occur at Keys:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{class-gibberish#1}\TreatAs
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{class-gibberish#2}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN\SELECT
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{class-gibberish#1}
If it wasn't for its class-gibberish, which experience has taught me not to assume is universal, then a Registry Hack could be viable.
I'd also queried this in the Newsgroup: microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
Thanks, MarkF
