Disable Java Automatic Updates

I needed a way to turn off Java's automatic update feature on my Vista 64bit systems. I found this nice source link:

but that's not the Java policy location in 64bit systems. You will have to configure the registry keys in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy


"EnableJavaUpdate"=dword:00000000
"EnableAutoUpdateCheck"=dword:00000000


Created a nice group policy to do the trick. So now my clients won't complain about Java asking for updates.
