Java Update Running In The Background

[maxXPsoft]

After installiing Java

I found this running under Task Manager : jusched.exe

I thought what is this. Went looking and found it was the SunJavaUpdateSched

Seems its loooking for updates, I mean hello I can do that myself, I mean how often do they update?. So to disable I found it under the HKLM Run key as such;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"SunJavaUpdateSched"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\j2re1.4.2_01\\bin\\jusched.exe"

To disable another useless task running in the background use this;

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"SunJavaUpdateSched"=-

Yes thats a minus sign after the =

That will remove from your registry and it won't start after next login or boot.
