    Here is the story, I have a laptop where I want it not to run JAVA at all. Microsoft Virtual Machine is installed & Java Sun too. A Java applet like: http://al-wed.com/chatcode.php would work since the java is installed. The question is:

    Is there any tweak to corrupt the JAVA completely on that system no matter what? I need it to be disabled or to give an error but not to initialize or run the applet successfully. The account is an administrator thus he will be able to re-install the JAVA and try so i'm looking for a tweak that will deal with registry or any system file so even if he re-installed the Java machine it wont work.


    Any clue guys?

    I don't quite understand your question.

    Even without Java (from Sun etc ..) Microsoft apps would one time or another install their own Java "runtime" to work.

    You just want to block out the Java from 3rd parties other than Microsoft?

    cheers ...

    Sure, there's a tweak: change the account to a non-admin account. ;) Then it's pretty straightforward.

    20 heavy strikes with hammer on your HDD should do the trick.

    he said that he could not simply uninstall it as the admin account could reinstall it again.

    remove the admin rights. done.

    no amount of tweaking could change one fact: the admin can always untweak everything.

    I don't know that it would help, since Java installation requires pretty much no right on anything. May be the OP is talking about a tweak not letting any apps to be installed????

    cheers ...

    You can use psychology. You disable Java on the web browser then tell the person that you've somehow managed to mess up Java. That way, you'll achieve your goal and no matter how many times the person tries to uninstall or install Java, it won't work inside the web browser.

    Recommend using psychology instead of phsicology. It works better. :D
