The official word on this is:

SRDB ID: 19452

SYNOPSIS: Hotjava keeps coming up with CDE login

DETAIL DESCRIPTION:

Every time I login to CDE a HotJava window comes up. I set my home session without it and it still comes up. It doesn’t happen to root

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

There is a script /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/1000.solregis that tries to force the user to register.

To disable for one user:

touch ${HOME}/.solregis/disable

There are two easy ways to globally disable registration:

Just pkgrm SUNWsregu. (An installation could set up jumpstart to leave this package out.)
Create a file called /etc/default/solregis, containing the one line:
```
DISABLE=1
```
