If not this group, which group is for general Java questions from users?

I am Running

Win XP Pro

Browsers:
Netscape 7.1
Firefox 2.0.0.15
Safari 3.0
IE 7

Under program files, the tree looks like this:

¦ +--Java
+¦ ¦ +--j2re1.4.1_02
+¦ ¦ +--jre1.6.0_02
+¦ ¦ +--jre1.6.0_03
+¦ ¦ +--jre1.6.0_05
+¦ ¦ +--jre1.6.0_07


In Control Panel, Add/Remove programs shows:
Java (TM) 6 Update 2
Java (TM) 6 Update 3
Java (TM) 6 Update 5
Java (TM) 6 Update 7,

Which, if any, can be deleted?

Thanks,

FACE

I'm so upset that I answered your question before I realized that you had
multi-posted it. I would not have, if I had realized that.

Do not multi-post.

I suggest uninstalling everything, manually checking that all files
were deleted, the run a registry cleaner to get rid of left over
registry junk (see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/registrycleaner.html)
then reinstall the latest JVM.

Over and over, the same few jump on multi-posters, vigorously citing rules,
giving verbal lecture, etc. Not that impressive in many aspects. What is
missing is the "why", because when the "why" is understood, the rule is
known without mention. There are many, such as:
