Java Applet exits and tray icon vanishes after some time, is there any timeout settings?

When i close Java Applet (java 1.6.23) in the browser (IE7, Windows XP) e.g. by the javascript Why java.exe and Java tray icon is removed after sometime (one minute or so) ? Is there any timeout value which can be setted somewhere ?

We are experiencing sometimes performance problems with applets, sometimes applets are completly frozen : That`s why i am investigating this "timeout" issue.

Solution

    Not that I know of. It is really up to the browser/JRE combo. to decide when to end the VM.

    Further, if the applet has problems, they will not be solved by setting a 'timeout'.
