Java Control Panel on Windows 8.1

Question

I am working with NetBeans 7.4 + Java Update 45 installed on Windows 8.1. I tried to get to the Java control panel using the charm of Windows search. This really leads me to the java icon for the Java control panel. However, when I click on the icon, something blinks and then nothing. Does anyone know a job around?

Answer 1

Try to run

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\javacpl.exe

if using 32-bit Java, or

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\javacpl.exe

if using 64-bit java. For the settings to take effect, you need to run them as an administrator.
