After updating to SP2 on my system, when I started up it asked if I wanted to
block JAVAW. I also just did a fresh install of XP (Home) with SP2 on my
wife's machine, and get the same question. That was before installing any
programs other than Microsoft (Word and Excel).

I have no idea what JAVAW is or what is trying to launch it. So I don't know
whether I should let XP block it or tell it to unblock it. Can anyone clue me
in?
