How To Disable Java in IE9 (Java Version 7.07 or less) – The two methods below may not disable Java in all circumstances and therefore may not protect against malware attacks such as this week’s new 0-day Java Security Flaw. [see US-CERT.gov for a detailed list of the steps required to totally disable Java - they are extensive and very complex]
For this reason we now recommend uninstalling Java completely or using a different web browser (e.g. Firefox or Chrome) to reduce the risk of malware attack.There are 2 alternative methods – a registry tweak and a Java Control Panel tweak.
Manage Add-ons - Java is disalbe for IE9 DOES NOT WORK.
Here is the result:
Registry Tweak Be careful when editing the registry – create a system restore point first.
To disable Java in IE, close IE and then use Regedit to open the Registry and change the value of the UseJava2IExplorer
Depending on the version of Windows and the Java plug-in, this key can be found in one of these locations:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\{version}\UseJava2IExplorer
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\{version}\UseJava2IExplorer
Open IE and test Java – you should find it is now disabled – at least as far as online tests are concerned. If you want to re-enable Java in IE just change the registry key value back to 1
Test again and this should do it.
