I've just now modified and recompiled the 'findjava' program.
It's checked back into CVS, along with the findjava.exe binary
Changes are:
1) 'jview.exe' is no longer recognised as a java interpreter
2) no windows directory will be searched for java interpreters
3) The 'update settings' button is disabled until the directory scan
completes.
