I have set JAVA_HOME and put JAVA_HOME/bin to PATH variable. But Internet Explorer still doesn't support Java applets. Why?

For IE to display applets, you need the Java plugin installed which comes with the JRE. If you have some sort of portable install, it's probably not gonna work in IE (you can use the appletviewer though). Also, you should have mentioned your non-standard setup details in the question.
