When I visit a website that uses applets, the Java coffee-cup icon shows up in the system tray.

About Java Technology, Go to Java.com, Open Control Panel, Hide Console, Hide Icon.
Even when I left the website, the Java icon was still in the system tray. Only when I shut down the browser did the icon finally vanish.
Is there a way to shut down the applet process *without* exiting the browser?
AFAIK this is not possible. The Hide Icon option removes the icon, but it also prevents the icon from appearing in the systray the next time, after browser restart, you load a page containing an applet.
It would be nice if the appearance of the icon could serve as a mechanism of signalling that a page contains a Java applet. At this moment, it only works once during the same browser session (i.e. without browser restart).
Maybe file a RFC (request for enhancement) at java.sun.com.
