Enable java Applets and WebStart without using the Java Control Panel

Is there any way to enable "Java content in the browser" without ticking the check box from Java Control Panel?

I have an application, which bundles jre8 and launches an external javaws process. My app cannot start the javaws process untill I manually tick the "Enable Java content in the browser" from javacpl.

I tried to manually add the deployment.webjava.enabled=true (which accordingly to Oracle should be true by default) in the C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties but no luck.

The problem was related to a bug in Java versions prior to 8u45. A simple update to Java 8 update 45 fixed the issue.

The deployment.webjava.enabled=true flag is indeed true by default, just it doesn't work with a bundled (by install4j - copied) java on older versions.
