NOTE: Java must be configured to disable caching of temporary files and applets to prevent conflicts with
past or future versions of QuickTools. Also, caching may become enabled if the Java version is upgraded,
so you may need to disable caching again after a Java upgrade.

To open the QuickTools web applet:
