Beverly,
No more questions, Luv. I have been avoiding this last step in an
effort to allow you to keep QuickTime for other things. However, since QT
seems so bent on holding your multimedia freedom hostage, I now see no other
choice but to give it a swift kick in the uninstall. You've already said
that you're not exactly married to the program, so here's how to blast the
pesky beast to Smithereens, wherever THAT is.
Go to Start > Run, type in 'appwiz.cpl' without the quotes and press
Enter. This will open the 'Add or Remove Programs' applet. After some
time, a list of all of your installed programs will appear. Scroll down, if
necessary, until you see the QuickTime listing (it may say "Quicktime for
Windows" or something similar). Click on it and then click on the Remove
button. If it gives you any choices, pick the one that will eject it from
your computing universe. When it has finished cleaning house, all of these
QT entries should be gone from both Firefox and IE. If QT is not smart
enough to return some of these associations to their previous owners (the
programs that used to open them before QT came to town), it may take just a
little more tweaking to get everything working the way you want. But that
will be much simpler than all that you've gone through with QT.
This is the most drastic step one can take when dealing with these types
of things, but if the "helper" application is hindering instead of helping,
it's time to get out your Donald Trump wig and tell it "You're Fired!".
:OD
Peace,
G
