Force Java 6 usage with Java 7 installed

I am trying to get Java 6 and Java 7 to co-exist on about 8 computers. Most programs we are using use Java7, but this site: https://oas1.ost.state.ok.us/forms/frmservlet does not work with Java 7.

I have researched a lot based on posts here and outside. It seems that all browsers default to Java7 if it is installed.

I have tried disabling Java 7 on Internet Explorer, but even the Java 1.6.0_45 plug-in runs the jre7 version javaw.exe.

Firefox shows no plug-in for Java 6 if Java 7 is installed, but if i remove Java7 it works fine.

If you go in the Control Panel of Windows, you will find the Java Control Panel.

Then go in the tab Java and from there you can enable/disable which jre should run applets.

P.S. I have italian OS so maybe the labels are different but you should be able to find the option once you look in the Java Control Panel.
