Damn Sun Java ~ Google Toolbar Install!!!

Now I personally love the Google Toolbar but it is not authorized on our network. I have pushed out J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5 via group policy a while ago... Now users machines are auto updating and installing the toolbar!
Is there any scripts available to uninstall the Google Toolbar and even better, a script to disable the auto-update for Java?
I did the cmd to uninstall and figured I could work it into a script but even the cmd doesn't work. The CMD I found was regsvr32 /u /s c:\program files\google\googletoolbar1.dll.
This will help me tremendously and will allow me to figure out how to make an MST for the Java install so that I can have that disabled in future releases.
Thanks!

OK did a little actual thinking and realized the new GoogleToolbar DLL is GoogleToolbar2.dll.
The Command should be: regsvr32 /u /s "c:\program files\google\GoogleToolbar2.dll"
Now, the file is still there so I guess the best way to take care of that would be to delete it after it is unregistered? Is this the best and "cleanest" way to remove the application?
Now is there a way to disable the autoupdate somehow?

Well I guess Google is trying to catch up with Yahoo in that regard. Lately almost every piece of software I install at least has an "option" to include the Yahoo toolbar. I guess advertising money gets all these companies willing to sell themselves out to the big giants.
Pretty soon Shawn you won't be getting any pure Lamb chops without getting them life-savers either

OK, I've written this script. It runs with no errors but the dll doesnt get deleted and I am not sure if it's getting unregistered either. I have also tried using
SHELL "%WINDIR%\System32\%Regsvr32 /u /s %programfiles%\google\GoogleToolbar1.dll"
Any ideas?
;***Google Toolbar Uninstall***
dim $google1, $google2
$google1 = "%programfiles%\google\GoogleToolbar1.dll"
$google2 = "%programfiles%\google\GoogleToolbar2.dll"
if exist($google1)
SHELL "Regsvr32 /u /s %programfiles%\google\GoogleToolbar1.dll"
del $google1
else
? "Google Toolbar1 not present"
if exist($google2)
SHELL "Regsvr32 /u /s %programfiles%\google\GoogleToolbar2.dll"
del $google2
else ?
? "Google Toolbar2 not present"
endif

Thanks I've have used %programfiles% in other scripts with no problem.
I did try it with a space and I get:
Google Toolbar1 not present
Google Toolbar2 not present
I believe its looking for "program" when you have a space???
