This did not quite work for me. I can uncheck the box and click ok but when I reopen the app, the update box is still checked.
Instead:
I browsed to the folder (C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin) and held down shift while right clicking on javacpl.exe. I selected run as administrator from the context menu. Now when the app opened and I unchecked the box and hit ok, the change persisted.
