Vivek, what build is this issue fixed in?

SQE is ok to defer from 8u40.
25-11-2014
Defer request to 8u60 since this is not a very important issue and VPAD testing is already done for 8u40.

It might be helpful to know where to find the control panel for starting it other than from the control panel. An example is: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exe".
