What registry keys are created by Java Plug-in on Microsoft Windows?
The registry keys created by JRE/Java Plug-in during installation are located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment and are summarized in the document at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/runtime_win32.html. JRE/Java Plug-in does not support registry keys created and used by the Microsoft VM located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM. For example, registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM\Classpath sets the class path for the Microsof VM, but this class path is not recognized by JRE/Java Plug-in. (Nor should you put the Microsoft VM class path on the Java Plug-in class path as doing so risks breaking applets or producing unexpected behavior in applet function.
