Java is a unique form of extensibility because it can be invoked in the following two ways: •By using an applet element •By using an object element that has a CLSID of a Java virtual machine (JVM) These two invocation methods are subject to different security controls. This Knowledge Base Article contains a Fix it solution to disable the Java web plug-in from being loaded through these controls. The Fix it solution will also disable the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) handler.
