OS: Windows Server 2008
Java: 6u18
In 6u10 or later, 'Default Java for Browsers' checkbox for IE in Java Control Panel
is gray-out and keeps user from disabling it, if running Windows is Vista or later.
It is documented in 6u10 Update Release Note.

But this checkbox can be toggled by hitting space-key.
And if logon account is an 'administrator', he can actually disable Java plugin.
This is harmless since it is re-enabled, but might confuse user.
The checkbox should be removed or completely disabled.
