Harold, do you know of any way to remove earlier, unselected versions of
Java from the list box you mention above ? On My laptop, for example, the
current version (1.6.0 19) from Sun Microsystems is selected, but an earlier
version (1.5.0) from Free Software Foundation is also listed. I've tried
various keystroke combinations in an attempt to delete the latter, but no
joy. Can this be done ?...
