Hi Group
I usually find my answers from reading others posts but not this one.
I removed all the old java from add and remove
went to the Sun site to d/l 6 and when i was asked if i wanted to save or run i chose run
Java 6 is now listed in my add and remove and it works
but i have a icon on my desktop jre-6-windows-1586
have i messed up by choosing run?
does this icon belong somewhere else or should i delete it
Thank you for any help you give me
hugs stinker

It's probably the install program. Move it to the recycle bin and see what
happens.

Another problem is Sun doesn't remove old Java versions when you install a
new one. See what you have in add/remove and if you have many versions
remove all but the latest.
