Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Java Web Start leaves a process on Windows (tested with XP) after it has created shortcuts.

JRE 1.4.1 JWS 1.2

How can I fix this?

To reproduce:

- Start any Java Web Start application twice
- JWS offers to create a shortcut, click OK.
- Close all programs
- Look in task manager, there is a javaw.exe using about ~22MB

The user has seen nothing wrong so far, but there is trouble waiting to happen, e.g.

- Remove an application(in my case an application that uses a
native library)
- Try to reinstall, you then get an error message:

An error occurred while launching/running the application.
