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

As has been mentioned here for JRE6 and JRE5, I will update for JRE1.4:

You will need to run the jpicpl32.exe application in the jre/bin directory of your java installation (e.g. c:\java\jdk1.4.2_07\jre\bin\jpicpl32.exe).

This is an earlier version of the application mentioned in Daniel Cassidy's post.
