Java is a programming language. You need something called the Java Runtime Environment to run programs written in Java. The Plugin is part of that. A small number of websites also use this. The Java Runtime Environment will appear in Programs and Features in the Control Panel and can be uninstalled from there. Unfortunately, there is a bug in the uninstallation that leaves the entry for the plugin in the Internet Explorer Manage Addons window after Java is uninstalled. This is harmless because the file has been deleted. To remove the entry in Manage Addons would require editing the Registry.

This bug has been known since at least 2008, but nothing seems to have been done about it.

    ""   In response to whoever said uninstall Java . . . DO NOT uninstall unless you do not use the internet in today’s world . . . . .Java is a must. . . . . keep java and do updates often . . . your friendly IT Guy . . . vaughnlm  ""

     

     

    Yah, we know, but Thanks for quickly posting that - it was dax1792, Mr. Dolt, not Mr. Cook, who suggested it a page of comments earlier - you may want to reply there too, which is closer to the source of the error where your advice applies....

    --- Oh, I guess no sense replying there too, this forum is Date sequential, so your good advice wouldn't be posted where it's needed..... I am very late to the game here!!

    This doesn't answer - for the second time - the question at all ...

     

    .... That's because DAX1792 is a Dolt, that's what the `D' in his tag stands for.

    The full expansion is, "Dolts Are Xceptional" !!

    Sorry Mr. Dolt, but you are one of those clowns who THINK you know a LOT more than you actually do, and are the type who never give you a direct answer.  Good grief, look at how many times DoltBoy replied and STILL never answered the question, about 6 or 7!!

    He actually had the nerve to write. "Why do you want to know?"   What arrogance!!!  This is a Questions & Answers forum you DOLT!!

    And then look what he wrote on Mar.27'12, "Uninstall Java and see how you get on. You will probably find you don't need it" .... WHA-A-A-??? !!!!  While I am amazed at your persistance over 9 full months, Do NOT write something like that here, WHO KNOWS who might actually do it!! 

    I can't believe he kept responding, but its funny, after Mr. Cook finally shared his wisdom with us (though I admit I'm having to look up tautological: Anyone Else? !!  :-), Mr. Dolt FINALLY disappeared!!!  And that's usually what happens with Dolts - they Disappear when Reason show up!

    Fortunately there aren't enough of your type in this world to completely drive us crazy or we'd all jump off a cliff!   I would bet at 10 to 1 odds that you are a political Liberal, as are probably 85% of your type.

    Unfortunatly the remaining 15% are Conservative, who also do aggrevate us.

    PLEASE Mr. Dolt, begin learning how to give a direct reply to a direct question.  You will really be better off for it as will we, and you'll make a lot more friends than you alienate, which I do believe is the current case.
