is it the JVM you're talking about?
you can't "turn off" Java, it's a language.
You can't turn off English, as an analogy.
In Windows you can go into your browser and choose which JVM you are using; thus, "turning on" Java or MS virtual machines. Other than that you can install Java or uninstall Java. You can remove it from your path, and as such, "effectively turn it off", but I would not suggest doing that. You can also edit your registry and take out reference to the file handler so Java will not be called upon to handle any file types, and thus, "turn off Java", but once again, I would not recomend that.
Let me give you a typical MS type of anwer with the question: "Why would you want to do that?"
