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:
