      This is a request to implement at Java Contol Panel a option to manually disable
      the security Warning "The application requires an earlier version of Java".

      This Message comes up, when a Java Applet is defined to explicit use
      a specific Java Version, but a newer JRE is already installed at the system.

      Steps to reproduce.
      Install silent these two JRE's at a clean Windows XP System:
      jre-6u23-windows-i586.exe /s INSTALLDIR=C:\java\jre6u23 STATIC=1
      jre-6u20-windows-i586.exe /s INSTALLDIR=C:\java\jre6u20 STATIC=1

      Sample html for the applet object.
      <object
        classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0020-ABCDEFFEDCBA"
        width="200" height="200" >
        <param name="code" value="ShowJavaVersionApplet.class">
      </object>

      call this page from any browser, a message comes up like:
      The application requires an earlier version of Java. Do you want to continue?
