Disable Autoupdate for Java 6 and 7

We had deployed Java 6 and 7 and forget to disable the autoupdate function for Java 6 and 7.

Is it possible to disable/delete this autoupdate feature without deleting the whole program and installing everything new?

Hi,

Yes. All that is needed is a small modification to the Registry. If you are running PDQ Deploy in Pro Mode import the attached PDQ Package and then deploy to your target computers to disable Auto Update.

The value name is EnableJavaUpdate and the necessary value is 0

The keys are listed below.
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
```
If 32-bit Java is installed on a 64-bit OS then the key is:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
```
