How to cause IE to use specific plugin?



Hello,
We have an applet, that was working properly in all plugin versions
from 1.4.2_06 till 1.5.0_05,
but has some problem in 1.5.0_06 and _07
It is launched by HTML that should restrict it to use 1.4.2_06 plugin
version, but for some reason if any 1.5 version is installed on the
computer it uses 1.5 instead.
I was trying different things to cause IE to use 1.4 plugin, but didn't
succeded. Although browser's option says "Use Java 2 v 1.4.2_06 for
<applet>" and in HTML written:
<OBJECT classid = "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA"
codebase =
"http://java.sun.com/update/1.4.2/jinstall-1_4_2_06-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,2,60";
This was working with 1.4 versions, but it is different with 1.5 -
applet is allways launched in 1.5 plugin and 1.5's control panel
doesn't even show 1.4 version in the "Java applet runtime settings" -
only in "Java application runtime settings".
So, the question is - how to cause the applet to run in 1.4 plugin if
1.5 version is installed?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
