How do you remove quicktime software?
Tried it with the windows add remove control and, it's still here.

Leesburg, VA | What do you mean "still here"?
Still playing media files on your machine and still listed in A/R Programs, or just some left-over files laying around that need to be deleted? |

I had the same issue as well.
I was going to uninstall it and replace it with Quicktime
Alternative 2.40, because of the recent foisting of Safari
on Windows users through the Apple Software Update popup,
but when I went to remove it in Add/Remove Programs, not
only was it still there, but it put QTTask back in Startup.
After exiting it and then removing it using MSConfig,
I had to manually remove Quicktime and its folder, then use
CCleaner and a few registry cleaners to get rid of the 478
entries in the Registry it left behind.
In short, the uninstaller appears to be broken.

Pathetic. I always figured Apple for nothing more than a 'Microsoft wanna-be'.
This, along with that 'pushing of Safari' business, only solidifies my opinion.
There's a battle raging right now over who owns a persons private computer-- the person, or the software makers whose software the person deigns to install.
I'm with the former-- and I'll dig a figurative foxhole and arm with a figurative bazooka if need be.
The time for alternative software was never riper, never righter. |
