Where is the java.security file located on Windows?

I need to locate and edit the java.security file on a Windows 7 host. Where is it located in a default Oracle JRE installation?

Policy file locations are specified in the security properties file, which is located at
    java.home/lib/security/java.security  (Solaris/Linux)
    java.home\lib\security\java.security  **(Windows)**

For the Oracle JRE, on my Windows 7 system java.security is in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\security

By the way for the JDK, should you need it, it's in: 

C:\Program Files\Java\<jdk_version>\jre\lib\security

e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40\jre\lib\security

You should find it in JRE_HOME\lib\security knowing that by default JRE_HOME should be c:\Program Files\Java\jre${version-id}
