Not really, a Java applet could load and call into native DLLs, and once you're in native code, you can do pretty much anything on Windows.

The security model for Java did not include calling native DLLs. That was something that Microsoft added, essentially tossing away the security model in the interest of trying to create a proprietary advantage for Windows in a Java world.
