Hi Frank - Both Java VM's can co-exist on your machine quite nicely. Just
select which one you want to use in Tools|Internet Options|Advanced and
restart all IE browsers. Here, courtesy of Mitch Gallant, MVP Security, is a
tiny utility which allows you to toggle and view status of your current Java
VM vendor associated with IE:

A note from Mitch Gallant:

"One note about the JVM Selector utility: If/when you install a new
version of Sun J2SE, you need to manually select to have Sun JVM as default
JVM for IE (in install), or after install via the JavaPlugin control panel.
This generates the necessary win32 registry entries, which must be present
for the utility to know about JavaPlugin. After that, the utility should
work properly."
