disabling java virtual machine in Windows XP Pro

I wish to disable JVM in windows XP Pro but do't seem to
be able to. A government web site I would like to use
keeps telling me to disable JVM even though I think I
have disabled everything relating to java.

You may 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:

1. From the Start menu, select Run.
2. Enter the command:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall

to start the uninstall process.

3. Click Yes to the confirmation, then select Reboot.
4. 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)

Microsoft JVM is now removed. You can download Sun's newer JVM for
Windows at http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html.
