IE7 - Vista - Java Snot

[timb]

OK Now Folks... this is the most peculiar situation I've encountered to date
with Visa/IE... Here's what I've done and here's what's going on... I'm
trying to access NOAA radars with IE7. NOAA radars are Java applets...

An example can be found here:
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=PBZ&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes

I updated Java to 1.6U7 and applets have subsequently failed... so I...

Uninstalled all versions of Java
Deleted the Java folder under Program Files
Reset ALL of IE7 to defaults... inlcuding the master reset to defaults (made
sure activex controls, jre, etc. we're reenabled)
Rebooted
Downloaded and installed JRE 1.6U7 using the manual java installer (with AV
disabled and run as administrator)

NOW...

Java applets (including NOAA radars) work fine in FireFox for ALL USERS
Java applets (including NOAA radars) work fine in IE7 in ANOTHER USER (not
admin) on this same computer
Java applets (including NOAA radars) DO NOT WORK in IE7 for MY (admin) user
on this computer

CONCLUSION... there is something "user specific" in either IE or VISTA or
JAVA that's blocking this funtionality... If I only knew what !!!!!

AND BY THE WAY... if I turn of User Account Control (UAC)... the problem
goes away... Where's the bug ??
