Java Control Panel icon gives "Application Not found" when clicked

 


I have encountered this issue:

The Java icon in the control panel is wrong under Windows 7. The Java icon displayed is a blank icon and when you try to lauch it, it gives an error: "Application Not found".

So how can we fix that?

A quick googling found the solution:

(A detail explaination is in this link: http://keyliner.blogspot.de/2011/05/java-control-panel-icon-application-not.html)

I will present the following simple steps:

1) In the Control Panel, right click your mouse to create a shortcut. This shortcut will be created in your desktop in Windows 7.

2) Go to Desktop and try to locate or find the shortcut icon.

3) Change the icon and it will show the correct path or the location where it should be.

4) Go to Windows 7 start button, then click Run and type in Regedit.exe. Or in short, launch Windows registry via windows start button.

5) Windows 7 registry will be launch. Locate HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\{4299124F-F2C3-41b4-9C73-9236B2AD0E8F}

(A quick look inside revealed that the java control panel is hidden inside)

6) Delete {4299124F-F2C3-41b4-9C73-9236B2AD0E8F} and restart your computer and the java control panel icon will be returned to its original state.

7) Launch the java control panel icon and it should be fine.
