Force Internet Explorer to use a specific Java Runtime Environment install?

Question

When viewing someone else\'s webpage containing an applet, how can I force Internet Explorer 6.0 to use a a particular JRE when I have several installed?

Answer 1

I have the same issue today and I concur with Jack Leow. Basically, on Windows XP, I had to go to Control Panel > Java and then:

1. Java tab
2. Click on "View" button
3. Enable only the JRE I want (i.e. JRE 1.5.x and keep 1.6.x disabled)
4. Restart IE
5. Load applet page in IE
6. Et voila, it's loading the correct JRE version!
