Java 1.7.0_10 changed the default security settings so that you must
ok every running of every unsigned Applet to run in the sandbox where
it can't do any harm even if it tried.  If there are 10 instances of
the Applet, you must OK 10 times.  If you reload the page, you must
re-ok another 10 times.

There is box that says "do not show this again for this app". Ticking
it does nothing.

This is insane. Somebody should be shot, as Dr. Melzak used to say.

 Other that turning off security entirely, what are the magic settings
in the Java control panel to get the old sensible behaviour?. Unsigned
apps run automatically. Signed ones require Ok.
