Maybe once every few months I run into something that demands QuickTime. If
I allow it to install, it tries to take over the machine. It's got some 25
different file types registered to it.

Every time I boot it shows up in the system tray until I manually kill it.
Is there some way to keep it from loading on every reboot unless I actually
have to use it? It's irksome to have it tying up system resources when I
don't want it in the first place. I've tried looking through all the startup
stuff in MSConfig and in the Startup folder but don't see how it's loading in
the first place. I've uninstalled it several times, but a few months later I
have to reinstall it again to use it for 5 minutes.

Thanks....

For what it's worth, the version of Quick Time (6.3) I have installed offers
the ability to select file type associations (the selections are limited to
3 categories as opposed to individual file types) and to remove the QT icon
from the system tray. Go to Edit>Preferences>Quick Time Preferences and take
a look around.

I've been into that preferences menu before, but didn't realize the one panel
had a bunch of pull down options. Duh...

Thanks for the pointer...
