How about while walking the file system (or the registry or whatever) you
periodically check for keyboard activity, especially up-arrow, down-arrow,
escape, control-c, break, etc. and if present, abort the search?

An indication that the application is still alive and doing something is
essential, but making a user wait two or more minutes because they happened to
scroll down through options and hit "Java" instead of remembering to mouse over
that selection is punitive, to say the least.

Not only that, but without polling for Windoze events while searching for JVMs,
the OS thinks the application is "non-responsive". A user who pulls up Task
Manager can reasonably conclude that the program has suffered a terminal hang
and restart it.
