thanks eried!!

I'm a little lost with the last part?
"Open regedit and delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\javaw.exe\IsHostApp" key"

not sure where to look to delete it?  are you saying to just delete the app?

[Reply #3 on:]

No, it is to undo the patch. Just ignore the "Unninstall instructions" (you will love the new look of arduino ide in your windows 7 haha)

(start, run: "regedit", enter, HKCR\Applications\javaw.exe\IsHostApp)

Very nice, thanks.

I have posted about it on my code/software blog and it should turn up on the duinoaday homepage (http://www.duinoaday.co.uk) soon-ish.

Does this also work on:
Other versions of the arduino IDE?
Windows Vista/XP?

[Reply #8 on:]

Yes, it works everywhere but for aestetics you need the "hack" just in Win 7
