- In Windows 7, click on the start button to bring up a program search text entry field and enter Configure Java, then click on Configure Java
- In other Windows versions, go to the Windows Control Panel and look for Java and click on it (Windows 8 has a Control Panel search box)
- If that does not bring up the Java Control Panel, Type <Windows> + R to bring up a Run Box and cut and paste one of the following command lines. The first is for 32 bit Windows, the second for 64 bit.
c:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exe
c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exe

Click on the Edit Site List... button

- Some people have reported that the security tab on their computer lacks the Edit Site List... button. If that can not be found, setting the security to Medium will restore the previous behaviour of presenting a dialog box allowing unsigned applets to run. If you are uncomfortable leaving security on Medium, you can just set it to that level temporarily for a game session and raise the security level when you are finished playing.
- Click OK to close the Java Control Panel
- Restart your web browser to make sure the new Java settings take effect.
- When you reload idiotsdelight.net, you should get the previous dialog box asking if you want to run an unsigned applet and the games should run once you allow it
