is it good to update automatically?

That works. Many choose to turn off the auto update as it is an unnecessary drain on resources. Java usually only updates a few times a year, sometimes only once a year. There were multiple updates in 2008 but I expect they will slow down again since the new build has been released.

Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Run Windows Install Clean Up (a shortcut should be in the Start Menu).
Highlight all references to Java SE Development Kit, and click on Remove.

You don't open Java. No need to open it. It's a plug-in, used in the background of some applications, like browsers.

Download Unlocker by Cedrick Collomb (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/index.htm)

Be sure to uncheck the option to install the eBay shortcuts during the install.

• Open the installation file, select the installation language and click OK.
  
• An installation wizard will pop up, click Next.
  
• Choose the default destination folder C:\Programs Files\Unlocker and click Next.
  
• Click Install directly. (Don't change anything)
  
• After the installation completes, go back to the file/folder you want to delete.
• Right-click on the file/folder and select Unlocker.
  
• There should be a window opening, select Unlock all.
  
• Now you should be able to delete your file.
