I'm trying to delete Microsoft JVM?

[DMan]

I'm trying to delete Microsoft JVM and need help with the
following instructions (see below)...after the restart,
am I suppose to delete the "java" folder? (what is
system root?) Secondly, how or where do I find HKey...
to delete it?
Thanks a million.



How can I uninstall the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) from Windows XP?

A. You might want to remove the Microsoft JVM, which
Microsoft no longer supports, in favor of the more recent
Sun Microsystems JVM. To remove the Microsoft JVM,
perform the following steps:

From the Start menu, select Run.

Enter the command

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall
to start the uninstall process

Click Yes to the confirmation, then select Reboot.

After the machine restarts, delete the following items:
the \%systemroot%\java folder
java.pnf from the \%systemroot%\inf folder
jview.exe and wjview.exe from the \%systemroot%\system32
folder
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM
registry subkey
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM registry subkey (to
remove the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) options)
