Sorry for the tardy post - insanely busy at this end

If it helps, there is also a handy downloadable .reg file available that
will do this -

I'm implementing this setting for the first time, and I'm finding that "SPONSERS"="DISABLE" is not working with Java 7.0 Update 72.

What is working is this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JreMetrics]
"DisableSponsors"="Y"

I guess they move it around to increase the chance of getting ***@pware installed
?

FYI, this is a useful tool for comparing before and after snapshots to see where a setting is stored:
