      Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.3.1
      Using JRE version 1.3.1 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

      Use Windows policy editor (poledit.exe) to switch the local users's Windows NT
      Shell/Custom Folders/Custom Desktop Icons property off. This appears to affect
      the Desktop value of the registry key
      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
      Folders]
      Run any applet with the java console turned on, to see that the user home
      directory is now the Windows directory rather than the profiles\userid
      subdirectory. I don't think this is correct functionality, and in any case it's
      not what's documented at
      http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/security/PolicyFiles.html
      :-)
