Shortcut to force Sun Java to re-integrate into IE6?

[Guest]

Hello. On our Laptop images, Sun Java hasn't integrated into IE6. Is there
any scriptable way to achieve this, other than asking users to Run the
program "JPICPL32.CPL", open its "Advanced" tab, expand "<APPLET> tag
support", and tick the "Internet Explorer" box ?

Thanks, MarkF

You could push a batch file to run a .reg file to make that setting change.
I believe it's in the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\<version> section

I think the key is "UseJava2IExplorer" REG_DWORD value of "1" = "yes"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.5.0_11]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_11"
"UseJava2IExplorer"=dword:00000001
"HideSystemTrayIcon"=dword:00000001

Hello. Sun Java's "UseJava2IExplorer" DWORD value appears merely a
quick-lookup of the "Internet Explorer" tickbox in its Java Control Panel,
and never provoked IE6 integration after a reboot. The deep IE6 integrations
occur at Keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{class-gibberish#1}\TreatAs
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{class-gibberish#2}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN\SELECT
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{class-gibberish#1}

If it wasn't for its class-gibberish, which experience taught me not to
assume is universal, then a Registry Hack might be viable.
