Hi

Is it possible to use Java to stop another application in windows from
starting?

For example I might want to stop microsoft word from launching. I tried
implementing a file lock on winword.exe but Word seemed quite happy to
start despite this.

Why not simply uninstall Word? (Considering the name
you've posted under, why not simply uninstall Windows?)
