      From 6u10 b23, launching an appln with user cache and system cache doesn't update registry and the appln is not listed in add/remove programs.

      Till b22, following was the behavior :

      User cache
      ========
         -> Launch notepad appln
         -> it is available in add/remove programs list
         ->also in registry, this application is listed under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall
         ->now javaws -uninstall, uninstalls the appln. so entry got removed from registry and add/remove programs
      system cache
      ===========
         ->Launch notepad appln using system cache
         ->it is available in add/remove programs list
         ->also in registry, this application is listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall
         ->now javaws -system uninstall, uninstalls the appln from system cache. so entry got removed from registry and add/remove programs
