Question

I have two jre versions installed on my system (1.3 & 1.5) and i am trying to some java applet programs through internet explorer. All i wanted to know is that how will the web browser select which version of jre to use when the applet program is executed.

Was it helpful?

Solution

It will use the default version of Java.

To change this

  1. Go to Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Default Java for Browsers and uncheck Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  2. Go to C:\Program Files\Java\jre_version_you_need_to_use\bin, and run javacpl.exe. Go to Advanced > Default Java for Browsers and check Microsoft Internet Explorer.
