Java using Direct3d on 2d objects FYI

I know that i had a hard time trying to figure out how to perform this fix remotely on multiple machines without the need of a user being there. So I’m posting some FYI to anybody that has had or will have this issue in the future.

Below is the fix that had to be done manually on per user basic:
Open Java Control Panel.
Double click the Java icon.
Click the Java tab.
Click the View button inside Java Applet Runtime Settings.
Add -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false in the Java Runtime Parameter field for version 1.6.0_10.

Below is what found in the file system wise that can be changed without user having to be involved except to test:

Vista
Path: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment
Open deployment.properties w/ notepad
Locate string ?deployment.javaws.jre.0.args=? and add ?-Dsun.java2d.d3d\=false?
String should read ?deployment.javaws.jre.0.args=-Dsun.java2d.d3d\=false?
Save changes and exit
XP
Path: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment
Open deployment.properties w/ notepad
Locate string ?deployment.javaws.jre.0.args=? and add ?-Dsun.java2d.d3d\=false?
String should read ?deployment.javaws.jre.0.args=-Dsun.java2d.d3d\=false?
Save changes and exit
