javaws application could still be launched when Java is disabled at user level but not at System level on Windows.

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. On win7-x86, install the latest jre 8 nightly #463
      2. Make sure you have one Admin user A and one Standard User S (or turn on the Guest account G)
      3. Login as A, enable Java at system level
      4. Login as S or G, disable Java at user level.
      5. If you still could launch javaws application as User S or G, then the issue is reproduced.

      Note: This bug is similar to https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8001468, though that bug is disable java not working with javaws application for both Admin and non-Admin users on Mac. However, these two bugs could be caused by the same implementation issue. Because user level on Windows and system/user level on Mac are both implemented by deployment.properties file instead of registry as the case of system level on Windows.
