      java picks up Accessibility.properties from <user>/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/Java/jre6/lib/

      I was wondering why I am not able to launch any JavaWebstart application on my machine. Finally figured out that it is due to an Accessibility.properties residing in my <user>/AppData/VirtualStore/Program Files/Java/jre6/lib/accessibility.properties
      inside there is Assitive_Technologies which pointing to java class, which its not able to load - Not there in the classpath.

      I have used this accessibilities.properties around 2 days back to test Java Control Panel related tests. After that I have installed and re-installed jre many a times.

      As part of Un-installation we should clean up Virtual Store. I have filed another bug on the similar lines. ( 6668994 ) . This is more serious bug than that.

      m/c - Vista Basic Home
      UAC enabled :

      how to reproduce:
      a) install Kernel JRE
      b) Keep accessibility.properties under <user home>/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/Java/jre6/lib/
        accessibility.properties should conatain assistive_technologies entry in it pointing to some java class and should not be available in the classpath.
