Login as Mike, and check that Registry location using Regedt32 (NOT Regedit).
Verify that permissions (in the Security tab) are set for full access by
administrators, and not just Mike.

Also, the Sun JRE is handled by IE as a BHO (I believe). If correct, that
means it is individually configured for each user (profile). Login as Nancy
and check the "Java plug-in" applet from Control Panel. Verify that
"Microsoft Internet Explorer" is selected on the Browser tab.

This is a good one -- let us know how you make out!
Jim, please chime in if you have anything else to add.
